		<description><![CDATA[For 2020, the three invited curators of the annual Design Indaba Emerging Creatives programme constitute a thrilling trifecta of top local talent. The responsibility for selecting the Emerging Creatives Class of 2020 falls to milliner Crystal Birch, conceptual art director Mokoena Kobeli and furniture maestro Siyanda Mbele. First up is creative force Crystal Birch, whose varied skills across the spectrum uniquely equip her to mentor and guide young creatives. Known primarily for her millinery business, Birch also has extensive experience in styling, art direction and set design. She studied fashion design at Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion in Stellenbosch and spent time honing her skills under the guidance of Noel Stewart and Piers Atkinson, two of Europe’s topmost hat-making talents. Since then, she has forged a path of her own and her irreverent and fanciful hats have come to adorn the heads of South Africa’s most fashion-conscious. Joining Birch in the lineup is Mokoena Kobeli. The Joburg-based conceptual art director, graphic designer and illustrator graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Johannesburg’s Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA) and continued to study at leading international and national creative institutions, from the School of Visual Arts (New York) to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Necklace. For some, an innocuous ornamental adornment comes to mind. For too many South Africans, on the other hand, the term is a tragic reminder of a brutal method of execution that haunts both the country’s political past and the mob justice of its present. &#160; Athlone-based emerging artist, Kenan Petersen, has drawn on his experience of growing up as a black South African youth in the wake of dire political struggle in order to create a provocative piece that interrogates the layered meanings in the word ‘Necklace’. Petersen explains: “The piece is to be worn in remembrance of those who passed in an act of defiance.” Petersen wants his ‘Necklace’ to be seen not as an icon of despair, but rather as a token of appreciation. “The Necklace symbolizes the rejection of racism in a time where students are being shot in the streets for asking for an education,” he adds. &#160; Petersen’s ‘Necklace’ is made entirely of concrete and hessian and is an expertly crafted scale replica of a tyre, made to resemble those typically used in lynchings. Contrary to what you might expect, the piece is not intended to be put on display, but rather to be [...]]]></description>
