A special exhibition from the estate of acclaimed South African photographer Alf Kumalo will also form part of this year’s fair. The exhibition gives visitors an opportunity to view work by the late photographer, whose career spanned decades and whose photographs captured important moments and figures in South Africa.
The three-day event will also extend beyond the exhibitions, with a programme of talks exploring contemporary art, collecting, and the creative industry.
For the school, the fair provides an opportunity to highlight the creativity of its pupils while connecting them with artists and professionals working in the industry. For visitors, it offers a chance to discover new artists, view established work, and gain a better understanding of South Africa’s growing creative sector.
Art lovers are encouraged to bring their families and friends and experience the range of artwork and creative talent on display at Roedean.
