		<description><![CDATA[South Africa&#8217;s rich tapestry of history, marked by trauma, resilience, and triumphs, continues to be woven through the art of storytelling. As the nation continues to grapple with its past, present and future, the construction of collective memory is a testament to its enduring national identity and aspirations. HUB Gallery in Cape Town is currently hosting 30 Years the Occupants, a poignant exploration of South Africa’s narrative since 1994, on show until 31 May 2024. The exhibition brings a collection of photo essays from Matthew Willman’s ‘Mandela Heritage Collection’ together with a selection of works from the Spier Collection, a contemporary Southern African collection encapsulating three decades of democracy that represent a multiplicity of post-apartheid narratives. Willman is a renowned documentary and fine art photographer born in Durban, South Africa, in 1979. His creativity was heavily shaped by his childhood during the latter years of apartheid and Nelson Mandela’s ‘walk to freedom’. As a commissioned photographer for the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Willman went on to capture South Africa&#8217;s democratic shift. This afforded him many intimate experiences with the man whom, for Willman, ‘embodied the very spirit and conviction we all possess as Africans in the world today.’ The ‘Mandela Heritage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At first glance, it might seem like something out of a fantastical tale: Spekboom in wine cans, proteas in pant pockets, fynbos in milk cartons. Yet, these plants hold the key to empowering communities. As a Spier Growing For Good initiative, Tree-preneurs is a project that teaches members of impoverished communities within the Cape how to care for indigenous plants. Once the seedlings they’ve been given to nurture are big enough, they are exchanged for food vouchers, clothing, bicycles, educational support, and other essentials. Tree-preneurs is rooted in the “waste not, want not” philosophy. As a rule, they don&#8217;t purchase anything — no water, no pots. Instead, they creatively reuse what&#8217;s already there. Water is collected when it rains, and seedlings are planted in recycled items like coffee cups and paint tins. This commitment to upcycling is core to Tree-preneurs, and it&#8217;s exactly why they&#8217;ve been invited to showcase their innovative creations at this month&#8217;s Upcycle event. The brainchild of Tétris Design and Build, a leading figure in global design and part of the JLL Group, the Upcycle event brings together artists and designers for a unique project. They&#8217;re turning old office furniture that&#8217;s no longer in use into a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An object made with skill, craftsmanship and deep intent forever reflects a moment in history. This is what mixed media artist Tamlin Blake showcases in her latest exhibition, After the Fire, at the Sisonke Gallery at The Cape Heritage Hotel, from 7 March 2024 to 28 April 2024. A devastating fire decimated a large portion of a private home in the winelands in 2020 and extensively damaged a well-loved art collection housed there. This affected Blake deeply because many of the artworks were by artist friends or artists she deeply admired. In some cases, all that was left of paintings on the walls were the metal hanging fixtures and stains where the oil paint had melted to the floor.  After the fire, dozens of old fine China remnants were found among the debris which Blake salvaged for this significant exhibition. The artworks created from the shards grew into echoes of the objects they had once been. In their new form, they remind us not only of the impermanence of precious things but of the importance of appreciating thoughtfully made objects, and their meaning and significance in the moments given to us. The major themes of Blake&#8217;s work revolve around what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For Cape Town artist Selvin November, flowers are a beautiful symbol of nature, each with a unique personality that he works to capture in his paintings. His latest exhibition, Emancipate The African Flower 2 – presented by House Union Block (HUB) at the Sisonke Gallery at the Cape Heritage Hotel from 7 December 2023 until 28 January 2024 – is an exploration of the personal and cultural symbolism of the hibiscus flower, and its deep connection with slavery and the African diaspora.  November was awarded a three-month residency on Robben Island at the start of his career, and has since participated in numerous exhibitions across the country.  Diary details Title: Emancipate The African Flower 2 Dates: 7 December 2023 &#8211; 28 January 2024 Times: Monday-Saturday 09h00-22h00 Venue: Sisonke Gallery, 90 Bree Street, Cape Town  For more information follow @sisonke.gallery and @house_union_block on Instagram.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Keiskamma Art Project from Hamburg in the Eastern Cape is not just about art. Of course, that’s a big part of it. But it’s also about building community, sharing knowledge, empowering women, educating youth, and celebrating the local culture and stories through textiles, beadwork and wirework. “The values connecting art and people are precisely what Spier holds dear,” says Tamlin Blake, Chief Curator at Spier Arts Trust. “Spier Arts Trust is proud to present the upcoming exhibition at the farm, titled In Search of the Birds of the Sea. It’s a genuine collaboration between fine artists and embroiderers to co-create unique embroidered tapestries.” Henk Serfontein. Handskrif handwriting. For more than 20 years, the Keiskamma Art Project has been the mouthpiece of the communities living alongside the Keiskamma River, providing dignity, inspiration and income. The embroidered artworks have toured the country and beyond, winning praise and awards across the world. The new collaboration between Spier Arts and Keiskamma Art Project began when Blake, who is also a mixed media artist, visited Keiskamma to work with embroiderers to produce an embroidered tapestry. Laying the foundations of what has become a valuable artistic partnership, Spier Arts Trust has since arranged for other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like moments frozen in time, Hanneke Benadé’s larger-than-life pastel drawings are exquisitely detailed glimpses into her subject matter. In her latest solo exhibition, Sense of Place, the accomplished South African artist explores the connection between subject and landscape at the House Union Block gallery in the heart of Cape Town.  With pastels as her medium of choice, Benadé creates evocative works that are rooted in realism. In the past, her lifelike drawings have been character studies, capturing the emotions of her models through portraiture. However, in this solo show, she explores the connection between the subject and the landscape in what she describes as ‘an interplay of emotions, memories and experiences that shape our sense of place’.  This situational collection holds significance for Benadé as an artist, as it embodies the relationship between ourselves and the natural world, and how our environment influences our identity, perspective and sense of belonging: ‘It embodies the connection we have with the environments we inhabit, whether physical or emotional, and the ways in which these landscapes shape our understanding of self,’ writes the artist.  Featuring a total of five larger pieces and twenty smaller works, Sense of Place expands on Benadé’s normal subject matter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you hear the word ‘ceramics’, you probably don’t think of magic. But working with this unpredictable medium is equal parts sorcery, artistry and, ultimately, acts of faith. A ceramicist can never be sure that what comes out of the kiln will resemble what they put in. As Christian Buchner – who will be featured in An Act of Faith, a new exhibition at Spier Wine Farm, running from June to October and curated by the Spier Arts Trust – says: “While every medium affords unique possibilities, ceramics – with their arcane workings in the firing process – bewitch.” But uncertainty is not the only challenge facing artists working with ceramics. Chief Curator at Spier Art Trust, Tamlin Blake, decided to organise the exhibition after visiting an unusually scant exhibition of the annual Ceramics South Africa exhibition in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape. “It was shocking because there were very few pieces being exhibited,” Blake explains. “Part of it was due to Covid, of course, but frequent loadshedding was also an issue.” ‘Firing’ or heating up an electric kiln – the most common type of kiln – to the correct temperature before glazing can take up to 12 hours.
