The exhibition Hidden Treasures is a rich display of many outstanding and rare objects from Iziko’s Permanent Collection of African Art. Some of these have never been exhibited before, while others are newly re-discovered.
Repatriation, continental and communal engagement have been central to building this collection. At the forefront of this exhibition, is the innovative visual production of women artists who, across time and space, have produced exisitely complex visual creations from symbolic and sacred materials to protect and adorn those they love, and latterly to earn living
