Get thee to the Gallery before 14 October

Due to preparations for the long-awaited Marlene Dumas exhibition, which runs at Iziko South African National Gallery from 8 November until 13 January, two current exhibitions will close earlier than previously advertised.

Art enthusiasts still have until 14 October to view ‘Imbacu: Art from the Inside/Outside’ and ‘Art from Rorke’s Drift’. ‘Imbacu’ focuses on South African artists who were directly or indirectly affected by apartheid-era ‘exile’, such as Colin Richards, Jane Alexander, Dumile Feni, Ernest Cole and Ronald Harrison. ‘Art from Rorkes Drift’ reflects a variety of talents that were nurtured at the Rorke’s Drift art centre in KwaZulu-Natal. The works, which include prints, drawings and tapestries, were created during the 60s and 70s when art training was, for the most part, denied to black artists.

The Gallery is open daily from 10:00–17:00, except Mondays. Enquiries: Tel. 021 467 4660.
