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”.

All That She Carried is a large-scale exhibition in celebration of Women's Month. The show takes its name from Tiya Alicia Miles's New York Times bestseller, in which the historian "traces the life of a single object handed down through three generations of Black women to craft a testament to people who are left out of the archives."

Cameron Platter’s pencil drawings are meticulous enlargements of quick, impulsive marker drawings and collages. The artist then carefully plots and reworks-into these digitally, before painstakingly translating them into pencil on paper.

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.

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!

Titled Kilelo Milelo (Today we Cry), Munguanzo’s debut solo exhibition, which was held at the AVA Gallery’s mezzanine in Cape Town, captured and contemplated the life of the ordinary people of the DRC in the post-covid lockdown era when life worsened for most.

Considering generational and embodied knowledge by way of ‘unlearned’ art-making, this exhibition opens 28 Jan 2023, 11am and runs until 25 Feb, Keyes Art Mile.

For the first time in its 20-year history, most of the major hand-embroidered tapestries created by the Keiskamma Art Project are being exhibited together in one place: Constitution Hill in Johannesburg.

Since relocating to Ireland in December of 2019 and returning to South Africa in July of 2021, Hobbs’ practice has undergone a significant revision; where his approach to art making – while remaining within the conceptual realm of aesthetics and war, psychology and the body, art and architecture – was tested by the hard lockdowns experienced in rural Cork.

A landmark retrospective exhibition is set to take place this September. Azu Nwagbogu, Pippa Hetherington and Cathy Stanley will curate an exhibition of tapestries produced over two decades by the Keiskamma Art Project.

VOLTA New York takes place from 18-22 May, and both Out of Africa Gallery and Ethan Cohen Gallery will be at the Fair, presenting works from the continent. Be sure not to miss it!

Black female artists triumphed at the 59th Venice Biennale. This should have bode well for Africa’s artists, and expression, yet none of Africa’s pavilions were dedicated solely to a female artist. Art journalist, Mary Corrigall investigates.

As tempted as one may be to see every national pavilion at the 2022 Venice Biennale, the chances of covering the Arsenale, Giardini and fringe spaces are reasonably slim. Art advisor, Alexia Walker narrows it down for you.

As an artist with a diverse cultural, historic and artistic background, Norway-based Congolese visual artist, Nicole Rafiki, uses her art to inform, engage and heal.

The recent announcement of Art Basel staging a Paris fair has fuelled speculation around the rise of this European art capital. What will the impact be on the African art market, which has developed in that city?
