The gallery is currently showing "The Art of Comics" featuring a historic and contemporary look at the work of artists from South Africa, the broader continent, France, Reunion island and more.
There's also a wonderful Virtual Reality animation of the Rivonia Trial were Walter Sisulu and Nelson Mandela were sentence to life imprisonment on Robben Island.
The exhibition is on until 18 November 2019 and is definitely worth checking out (as an adult. Kids optional ☺️).
Beyond the exhibition, this is one of my favourite places in Jozi.
I used to work as an accountant not far from here and, used to come eat my lunch in the gallery courtyard.
It's a creative oasis within a neighbourhood that's emblematic of some the country's challenges.
Went today, 10 Nov. It was closed. Security said has been closed long time and he didn't know when it would be open. I tried phoning before going and emailed the curator, but no one answered the phone and curator didn't return email.
Hidden gem in downtown Johannesburg. They were busy with renovations but there was still lots to explore and see.
My favourite thing about this place is the architecture. There's fantastic historical value in the building. Depending on what is being exhibited, the art can be disappointing.
It was saddening to be told at the gate by the security guard that the Art Gallery is closed... whilst the website states otherwise. I am sad!
