Latitudes Centre for the Arts (LCA) is proud to present a new exhibition focusing on the work of four artists who offer a thought-provoking window into their interior lives, revealing their most intimate thoughts and delving deep into the new reality and challenges of our contemporary lives.

Le Guin tells us that fiction can be like the carrier bag, a receptacle for all sorts of incidentally found things, and I want to venture that the paintings included in Hedwig Barry’s solo exhibition, Unrest, on show at Guns & Rain until 27 October, do the same thing. They too are tools “that [bring] energy home”.

The contemporary condition is such that there are no longer any art movements – even if there are discernible aesthetic or conceptual qualities characterising the art finding favour.

Capital Art is an art collection management service and the first focusing on empowering collectors of modern and contemporary African art.

Back in 2016, the South African artists William Kentridge and Bronwyn Lace came together to found a space committed to creating and supporting experimental, collaborative and cross-disciplinary arts projects.

While collaborations between artists and fashion, furniture or homeware designers are not uncommon in South Africa, there remains some confusion and even skepticism around the extent to which the disciplines of contemporary art and design can and should overlap.

The art world has experienced a paradigm shift, with independent artists, disruptive curators, and marginalised individuals challenging established norms. However, reforms should be cautious of historical naivety and outdated practices.

After the fantastic success of RMB Latitudes, our first physical event since 2019, Latitudes is excited to launch a second offline offering. Latitudes Centre for the Arts (LCA) is a physical, multi-purpose exhibition space in Johannesburg dedicated to the year-round promotion of artists and galleries on the continent.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our very own podcast produced in partnership with iTOO Artinsure.

A new wave of clay artists is being feted by international collectors and museums. A forthcoming book surveys the key exponents.

This rambling setting with interlocking gardens, from which staircases and pathways led visitors to different venues, bars or patios, literally delivered on this notion of ‘discovery.’

Latitudes set out to be responsive to the needs of artists, dealers and collectors. The new edition with RMB as a sponsor builds on this but in a more upmarket and social setting.

Check out the RMB Latitudes Art Fair Programme. Join us and celebrate in our shared creative spirit, ignite new relationships, and connect with artists and galleries in an inspiring setting.

ESSAY is an exhibition that showcases a cross-generational dialogue through the works of three artists - Sam Nhlengethwa, Katlego Tlabela, and Cinthia Sifa Mulanga. The exhibition, which forms a Special Project at RMB Latitudes, and is presented by Lexus in collaboration with Goodman Gallery, explores the complexities of identity, culture, and artistic heritage through a nuanced approach to colour and line.

There is an exciting move in education towards embracing diverse learning styles - encouraging students to express themselves through art, music, writing, drama or technology.

INDEX is a new platform to give exposure to independent artists, who often have to create their own networks and methods for getting their work seen by audiences. Meet the artists!

Are you looking to discover new, exciting artists? Many collectors and art enthusiasts seek the advice of experts when it comes to finding emerging artists with great potential but the key to this is often about redefining what ‘potential’ means.

Independent artistic practice is on the boom. Well, some would say it has been for a while now. Old structures are morphing into new porous forms.

A central element of RMB Latitudes Art Fair is the RMB Young Artists’ Playground, a dedicated children's creativity programme, featuring fun and educational art activities for children from the ages of 3-12.
