Exhibition: Next Generation, art from South Africa
Twenty years ago, inspired by the South African patriot and artist Thami Mnyele, a group of Amsterdam based artists, set up an artists-in-residence program, enabling artists from Africa and its diaspora to live and work in Amsterdam for a period of three months. The studio has become a vibrant and renowned meeting place for artists from Africa and artists and art institutions from the Netherlands. Out of the works of the more than sixty artists who have been staying in the studio over the last twenty years the work of only South African artists has been selected. The exhibited works were made by the artists during their stay in Amsterdam and donated to the Thami Mnyele Foundation.
