Newwork25 is a year-long collaborative project culminating in a group exhibition facilitated by Mbali Dhlamini and Siyanda Marrengane.
The project is made up of 56 young artists from the Wits School of Arts in their final year of a BA in Fine Art. The work celebrates the right to exist, to name, and to create from histories made tangible.
The participating artists arrive having worked, persisted, and grown, shaping their practices and communities along the way. To begin is intentional; to become is political and rooted in kinship; to belong is to claim space without compromise.
The works on display echo this conversation and reverberate between the gallery walls, forming the language of the Newwork25 exhibition. Come and see the culmination of a year’s worth of experimentation, reflection, and creative growth.
