Fabrics Tell Stories Too is born from a refusal to remain within the frame. It asks: what happens when art is no longer only what hangs on the wall, but also what is worn, carried, cleansed, bled, or mourned? What happens when materials themselves become testimonies of memory, resilience, and survival?

“Take a walk with me” An invitation to accompany another through the paths they navigate. This exhibition extends that call, walking alongside narratives shaped by South Africa’s enduring traumas and the identities forged within them. It retraces the long walk once framed as a journey to freedom. A walk that promised unity and equality but left uneven footprints on a divided land.

‘embo: where we once knew‘ is a pathway to ancestral memory: isikhumbuzo sethu sothando (somhlaba). This exhibition is a love letter to the land; it is the cry and the consolation; it is a reminder that this land continues to birth us.

This curatorial exhibition aims to bring together African artists whose practices move through ancestral memory, spiritual lineage and the living archive.

As a distinction, perhaps our method of curating around absence begins with asking: who is not represented? This line of enquiry only opens the door to further scrutiny.

It should be in the interest of any good institution to consistently question itself and its ways of working. In the case of the University of Johannesburg’s Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA), the question it’s asking itself is this: What kind of impact does our work have – on us, our students, our faculty, and the world around us?

Latitudes and Thrive Student Housing are teaming up to spotlight the next generation of creative talent. We’re inviting university arts students across South Africa to submit original artwork for a chance to be featured on a range of Thrive merchandise!

Having a foot in architecture has given Selwyn Steyn perspective, writes Tom van der Schijff

South Africa is known worldwide for its diversity in scenic naturescapes, wildlife that includes the Big Five, and cultures collectively known as the “rainbow nation”. Yet the reality of many everyday South Africans, entwined within the geography and biodiversity, is marked by compounded and imbalanced socio-economic patterns.

In her work for the HEAT Winter Arts Festival, what one finds is a state of suspension between worlds, between past and present, between here and there, between the known and unknowable, writes Nkgopoleng Moloi.

How do you bury a superhero? Asks Nino Jane Bergh. It seems like a monumental task, but one weathered by multimedia artist Rory Emmett, whose first show, Concerning Alchemy, at the AVA Gallery in 2017, is beginning to feel like something from deep time.

Of Kinship and Divergence: A Tswana Reflection on Identity Across Borders and The African Artist’s Right to Self-Invention.

Over the last decade, we've seen artists do more than just make work - they've built networks, platforms and possibilities. In short, they've hustled. Not only creating opportunities for themselves, but also for those around them. It's a defining feature of today's art world.
