About Ballade

Ballade documents the vibrant fabric of Cape Town’s emblematic Sea Point Promenade, offering an exploration and celebration of its rich socio-economic, racial, and gender diversity. Through her deeply evocative portraiture, Sank highlights the fundamental interplay of identity, place, and community while painting a compelling narrative of the Promenade’s not only historical, but autobiographical significance.
