The Pursuit of a Glimmer on view at 223 Jan Smuts.

Curated by Duduzile More and supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum, the Women’s Month group exhibition moves beyond celebration to examine the realities that continue to shape women’s lives.

Through themes of resilience, care, memory, resistance and self-determination, the exhibition considers the “glimmers” that emerge within these realities -moments of hope, courage and possibility that point towards meaningful change.

Featuring Artists:
Jessica Adams in collaboration with Amy Keevy, Lebogang Mabusela, Mummy Khumalo, Rina Noto, Thato Tlatsi, Yolanda Mazwana with video artwork by Nicole Bondi and Bredan Adams

Exhibition: 1 August–28 September

Meet Emma Halford, the artist behind ALL OF HER.

With a background in textile design and years spent working across fashion and interiors, Emma’s practice has always been closely connected to the relationship between the body, material and space. Over time, her exploration of painting, illustration and textiles led her to clay- a medium she now uses as a channel for emotional expression. Her sculptural practice considers how objects can hold feeling, shift the atmosphere of a space, and change the way we experience ourselves within it.

Emma will be bringing this tactile approach into a hands-on workshop at 223 Jan Smuts Creative Hub.

Each guest will begin with a prepared clay female torso, before shaping, carving and personalising it into a sculpture of their own. The finished pieces will then be professionally fired and returned as lasting ceramic works.

No artistic experience is needed -just a willingness to create, explore and tell your story through clay.

Edition I: 22 August | 10:00–13:00 Edition II: 29 August | 10:00–13:00 223 Jan Smuts Avenue, Rosebank
Limited to 14 guests per edition. Tickets available via Quicket.

A StrangerKind
A StrangerKind is a community of volunteers who share their lived experiences through intimate conversations. It is an invitation to the public to come, be curious, and ASK them anything about their topic.

How it works
Arrive anytime to see which topics are available (topics are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis). Choose something that sparks your curiosity, sit down with one of our volunteers who will share their life story on that topic, and ASK them ANYthing. You decide how long you want to chat.

This is a free, public event, and everyone is welcome. Still unsure how it works? Just come say hi and meet the team.

Our Conversation Starter Cards will also be available for purchase.
See you there and STAY CURIOUS!
