		<description><![CDATA[Astonishingly, only 0.5% of land in South Africa is forested. And within this, our increasingly rare mistbelt forests occupy an even tinier fraction. On the outskirts of Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal lies one such special place. Ferncliffe. It is the precious remnant of a biome that originally stretched over 2000 hectares. In a largely dry country, Ferncliffe is blessed with high rainfall. Humid, and swathed in mist, it is a magical tangle of vegetation at the edge of the city’s urban sprawl. Although Ferncliffe is small, it still contains an astonishing diversity of life, ranging from large mammals like bushpig and caracal, to unusual millipedes and amphibians, a species of carnivorous snail, and the enormous monkey-catching crowned eagle. It harbours unexpected, often secretive creatures that dwell in, and depend upon, the profusion of indigenous plants that grow there. Unfortunately, a tide of alien plants is threatening the ecosystem&#8217;s survival. This environmental degradation is an enormous problem. But you can assist Ferncliffe forest wilding to restore the biodiversity of this mist-drenched wonder. To help fund the registered NPO’s vital work, local fine artist Connor Cullinan is producing a series of original art prints that are sold online as open editions via https://ferncliffe.org.

		<description><![CDATA[KRONE X WHATIFTHEWORLD gallery presents 40 under 40 from 25 September 2021 to 28 February 2022.

The six-month-long show represents a celebratory moment on the contemporary art calendar, drawing on rising and established talents from across the African continent and beyond, making it one of the not-to-be-missed cultural events of the South African Spring/Summer season. Selected works are placed together in conversation and were created largely during the pandemic. Collectively, they address a world which demands renewed negotiations of intimacy and sociality. These responses span painting, photography, sculpture, murals, video, mixed media, and installation. The artists &#8211; some of whom are up-and-coming, while others are already well established &#8211; represent a generation determined to flip the script and manifest new ways of making and being in the world.
