The Snake You Left Inside Me by Nandipha Mntambo. The exhibition is centred on the hybrid and shape-shifting nature of the snake and the portrayal of the half-snake, half-woman Echidna, known in Greek mythology as the mother of monsters. Through paintings, sculptures and monoprints, Mntambo looks at the maternal and the lethal. Details: From November 25 to January 19 at Stevenson gallery, 62 Juta Street, Johannesburg.
