Tracey Rose's SAN PEDRO V OMNIBUS: U’R A NATION to Open at CENTRÅL, Johannesburg

Key facts

• SAN PEDRO V OMNIBUS: U’R A NATION opens on Sunday, 4 October 2026, at CENTRÅL, Victoria Yards, 16 Viljoen Street, Lorentzville, Johannesburg.
• The exhibition includes works spanning more than twenty years, such as San Pedro V: The Hope I hope (2005), Waiting for God (2005–2011), Ol’ Jerusalem Pussy (2005–07), A Muster of Peacocks: THE SHOAH (2012), and If Hitler Was A Girl Who Went To Art School (2024–2025).
• If Hitler Was A Girl Who Went To Art School features A.I. video design by Adilson De Oliveira and A.I. audio design by Working Horse, with additional illustrations by Nate Higgers and an a cappella epilogue by McCloud aka VAMPIRO.
• CENTRÅL is run by Tracey Rose, Adilson De Oliveira, Nabil Assaf, and Eric Charles Wright.
• Kunstmuseum Bern stated there was 'no censorship' and that Rose followed its advice not to show A Muster of Peacocks: THE SHOAH; Rose and her team called that account a 'blatant lie'.
• In 2005, Linda Givon helped finance Rose's trip to Jerusalem, where Rose performed as San Pedro at the separation wall, playing Hatikva badly and urinating on the concrete.
• The exhibition is described as an unauthorized rebroadcast of material that behaved badly the first time, not a sanitized retrospective.
• Bergen showed If Hitler Was A Girl Who Went To Art School, but the institution's enthusiasm diminished once the work was seen in person.
