		<description><![CDATA[Stellenbosch Triennale takes great pleasure in announcing the first 20 participating artists for its inaugural edition, taking place from 11 February to 30 April 2020 at destinations in Stellenbosch. The list reads like a who’s who of contemporary art from African, now. Given the status of the 20 artists on the official selection of the Triennale, the event promises to be one of distinction and inspiration, quite unlike anything that Stellenbosch has seen before. The curator’s exhibition curated by Chief Curator Khanyisile Mbongwa with Triennale curator: Bernard Akoi-Jackson draws from the Triennale’s overarching theme Tomorrow There will Be More of Us. The exhibition will present contemporary art from African in a critical dialogue with the society that fosters and exhibits it. The list of African artists selected by Mbongwa, with her co-curators, informs the major theme. Artists are set to present works that investigate the possibility of healing through engaging with the divided past, the collective present and imagined futures. Responding to the nature of the collective destined for the curator’s exhibition, Mbongwa says, “African creatives confront us with what is possible for a renewal to happen utilising art as a lens, a course correction, a stimuli around curiosity and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The eagerly awaited Matador Network’s ‘25 most spectacular hotels in the world: 2020’ list includes Singita Lebombo Lodge, in the Kruger National Park, in its top 5 selection. The best hotels and lodges from around the world are highlighted in the list, released late in January 2020 – yet another credit to both Singita and Cécile &#38; Boyd’s already illustrious reputations. Designed in collaboration with GAPP Architects, Lebombo reflects the spectacular landscape from which it draws its inspiration. Spectacular is certainly the way to describe this luxury destination in the heart of the Kruger, overlooking the N’wanetsi River. Guests are transported into a bushveld world of dramatic landscapes home to high concentrations of iconic wildlife. Abundant prey draws many big cats to the area, including large prides of lion. Often referred to as “Lebombo: Land of Lions” after the Lebombo mountain ridge, it is one of the best places to see these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Yet the award-winning accommodation, where the contemporary décor is a standout feature, is an added attraction that distinguishes Lebombo from a plethora of safari options. The Cécile &#38; Boyd interiors are something that Matador specifically points out, stating that: “While many luxury safari [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hot off the press! Clout / A heartfelt celebration of South African design is a gorgeously curated design compendium sharing the collaboration between Nando’s design programme, Clout, and established and emerging creatives. South African design is thriving as never before – in part due to the support of Nando’s notable design programme, Clout, which showcases a host of creatives on its various platforms. The global restaurant giant is one of the biggest exporters of local design – its support for the industry extends to its Hot Young Designer competition, the print magazine Clout, and the online catalogue and purchasing platform Portal to Africa, which has facilitated more than R34m worth of design sales to date. In July last year, it spearheaded Nando’s Business Development Support Initiative to support design businesses. &#160; “As a business in South Africa, we are mindful of the need to create employment opportunities for young people as well as offer ongoing hands-on support to SMEs,” says Michael Spinks, Nando’s property and development director. “We are proud to boost the design sector by facilitating exposure to global opportunities.” To enhance its print oeuvre, Clout has brought out a gorgeously curated design compendium of the work and big [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparel with purpose – this is the raison d&#8217;être behind The Lalela Scarf, an international luxury fashion brand that exclusively supports Lalela, a non-profit arts education programme for at-risk youth in Sub-Saharan Africa. The gorgeous designs that give The Lalela Scarf such vibrant appeal have been created using Lalela learners’ original artworks. It is a sustainable cycle of life-changing art. New York-based Creative Director Sandy Tabatznik curates each seasonal collection of scarves by drawing on stand-out paintings and then adapting their format. &#8220;Lalela provides educational arts to at-risk youth to spark creative thinking and awaken the entrepreneurial spirit,&#8221; she explains. The organization teaches children how to map and manifest their dreams and goals, launching the possibility of a different future for themselves and their communities. From grade 1 to grade 12, Lalela connects arts to everything important in a child&#8217;s life, from core academics to critical life skills. Research shows that arts education improves the lives of students, increasing their academic, social, mental and economic wellbeing over a long-term period. Furthermore, arts education is a key indicator of success in life and academics. The Lalela Scarf was first conceived as a means of funding Lalela but has grown into a standalone luxury [...]]]></description>

Over 130 VIP guests were in attendance at this glittering event, including the Consul-General of France in Cape Town, Mr Laurent Amar, the Chairman of the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Philip Geromont, and Claude van Wyk of the Kingdom of The Netherlands Consulate General in Cape Town. The shortlisted finalists were flown into South Africa from across the continent and the world, and hosted by awards founder and sponsor Saint-Gobain. The much-anticipated gala was the culmination of an ambitious two-year awards programme that was initiated and supported by construction industry innovator Saint-Gobain with the ultimate aim of stimulating conversations about African architecture as it cements its place in a global continuum. The Africa Architecture Awards is the first-ever Pan-African awards programme of its kind. A steering panel headed by Professor Lesley Lokko guided the awards with strategic input from ambassador Phill Mashabane, advisor Zahira Asmal, and patron Sir David Adjaye, one of the globe’s most influential voices in architecture.

		<description><![CDATA[“As a serious retail and buying event, ISF’s debut is timed to perfection. By attracting high-calibre buyers from South Africa and beyond, it is set to tap into Africa’s economic boom. Today, the continent is among the only markets in the world with a collective annual GDP growth above 5% &#8211; and that figure continues to rise.” The first edition of the International Sourcing Fair (ISF) – reaching African markets in home, hospitality, office and retail – will take place at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 13 to 15 September 2017. This landmark three-day event is set to transform the face of buying across Africa, as the continent’s increasingly sophisticated consumer culture continues to accelerate unprecedented economic growth. Exclusively a trade platform, ISF will provide a forum where international suppliers can make direct connections with potential retailers, buyers and procurement teams from South Africa and other selected African countries. Developed and managed by Thebe Reed Exhibitions, ISF is part of a high-profile décor and design event portfolio that also features prestigious shows such as Decorex SA and 100% Design South Africa. According to Carol Weaving, Managing Director of Thebe Reed Exhibitions: “Thebe Reed is focusing on expanding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following on the highly successful Monstera Deliciosa by Porky Hefer, Southern Guild brings a group exhibition of equally tantalising design product to its Cape Town gallery. Graphica introduces some collectible design pieces not yet seen in South Africa, despite having been exhibited by the gallery at international fairs such as Design Miami in both Basel and Miami, and Design Days Dubai. Graphica is a visual feast of dynamic silhouettes and exquisite surface detailling,’ explains Southern Guild founder Trevyn McGowan. A Wiid Design bench hand-drawn by Ceramic Matters to resemble a tattoo, the Kassena Isibheqe cabinet and writing desk by Dokter and Misses, referencing a modern-day script to unite African languages, and Madoda Fani ceramic vessels decorated with armour-like patterning are some of the pieces to look out for in this exhibition. ‘There’s a strong African aesthetic to these works,’ adds partner Julian McGowan, ‘and visitors can expect this to be complemented by a dramatic reworking of the gallery space.’ Expect newly painted, moody walls and dark finishes. &#160; Says Trevyn: ‘Southern Guild is forging ahead with repositioning design work as investment pieces in this country. In the same way that art is collected by top buyers and museums, our South [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Goodman Gallery Cape Town 5 September – 10 October 2015 Exhibition opening Saturday 5 September at 11:00 Walkabout with the artist at 12:00 In her forthcoming solo exhibition, TESTIMONY, the first in South Africa and on the continent, Adejoke Tugbiyele speaks to her personal experience and the lived and imagined experiences of all Nigerians, regardless of gender and sexual orientation. She takes as her motivation the fact that many Nigerians and other Africans cannot survive each day without dreaming of being elsewhere – somewhere far away. For example, Nigerians and other Africans migrate to places like South Africa for survival and freedom – including the freedom to love – managing existing trauma amid fears of xenophobia in a country still healing from its own apartheid past. Tugbiyele notes that her fellow Nigerians use various means to acquire the necessary documentation to allow them to travel, taking steps that are dangerous and often placing them at odds with the law. Prostitution and sex work is common among both straight and gay people, because it is viewed as a means to success or a way out of the country. These are acts of survival given the conditions that cause Africans to risk [...]]]></description>
