SUMMARY:Stardust on Broken Ground - Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”701613″]– PUBLIC EVENT – \nWe are thrilled to invite you to the NOW Gallery for a solo exhibition by the incredible Tatenda Magaisa.
Tatenda Magaisa is an artist\, writer\, and cultural producer (MA\, Wits) currently in residence at BLVCK BLOCK. \nMagaisa’s work is a powerful exploration of Black womanhood in popular culture and the complexities of global interaction. By blending painting\, print\, and video with themes from horror and sci-fi\, she captures the “continuous unease” of our modern world. \nFollowing her major 2024 solo at the Johannesburg Art Gallery and previous showcases at Zeitz MOCAA and the French Institute\, her practice dives deep into the “irreconcilable conditions” of art and labour. This is an exhibition you won’t want to miss. \nOpening Night: 5th March | 18:00\nArtist Walkabout: 14th March | 11:00\nLocation: NOW Gallery\, Open Window – Centurion Campus \nFollow her journey:

SUMMARY:Tactile Illustration Workshop - Burn Edition
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”265406″]-ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF- \nTactile Illustration Workshop – Burn Edition\n13 March | 11:00 – 14:00 | Drawing Lab \nThis workshop invites you to draw differently. Working collaboratively and hands-on\, students will explore tactile processes\, material experimentation\, and real-time image-making — shifting away from overthinking and toward instinct\, texture\, and response. It’s about making together\, thinking through your hands\, and discovering how collaboration can reshape visual language. The works created during this session will form part of a larger exhibition later in the year — extending the energy of the workshop beyond the moment and into the shared story of the Burn.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
