EXHIBITION EXTENSIONS

We are pleased to announce the extension of both 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙚𝙩 and 𝙎𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚: 𝙏𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝙖 𝙂𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙨 which will now run until 16 June 2024.

You can find both of the exhibitions on LEVEL 4 of the museum.

𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙚𝙩 is a documentary and archival exhibition based on research conducted by the curators for over a decade around four seed collections of art that were intended to be “museums in solidarity” or “museums in exile”, that incarnated the engagement of artists with a particular political cause. It is an exhibition of stories told with documents, photographs, pamphlets, press clippings, posters, interviews, and videos.

Zeitz MOCAA would also like to congratulate the author-curators Kristine Khouri and Rasha Salti who have recently celebrated another iteration of the exhibition which opened at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France.

𝙎𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚: 𝙏𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝙖 𝙂𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙨 is an itinerant exhibition and research project highlighting non-European critical and cultural journals as tools of resistance in anti-colonial and liberatory movements.

Curated by Zahia Rahmani, the exhibition spans the late 18th century to 1989. The exhibition explores the seismic impact of events such as the Haitian Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall. With a focus on decentralising European perspectives, 𝙎𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚 has been exhibited worldwide, evolving through ongoing research efforts.

Zeitz MOCAA’s curatorial and education programming is generously supported by Gucci and the Mellon Foundation. 𝙎𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚 is furthermore supported by the French Institute of South Africa (IFAS).

You have until Sunday, 25 February to experience Unathi Mkonto’s TO LET studio residency.

Mkonto, whose practice sits at the juncture between art, design and architecture, thought about how people interact with “the edge of the city”, a commercial and domestic strip of land. The artist created a site for himself and the audience to play, investigate and contemplate.

Located on the second floor of the museum, the Zeitz MOCAA Atelier is an experimental platform and residency that provides Cape Town-based artists with an opportunity to create new work, conduct research, and develop ideas for future projects.

In addition to providing an exploratory space for artists, the studio is open to the public, allowing visitors to the museum unique access and insight into the artists’ modes of production and processes.

Zeitz MOCAA’s curatorial and educational programming is generously supported by Gucci and the Mellon Foundation.

Exciting news 💫 œuvre projects is delighted to share that Thero Makepe’s solo exhibition ‘We Didn’t Choose to be Born Here’ opens at JAVETT UP in Pretoria, South Africa next week. Curated by @stormjvr, this inaugural presentation will run from 14 May 2026 - 15 February 2027.

In 2025, Makepe presented their debut solo exhibition, ‘We Didn’t Choose to be Born Here’, at the Museum of Making in Derby, UK, as part of FORMAT25, and at the Lemkus Gallery Cape Town, South Africa, presented by œuvre projects. This body of work has become a defining project within Makepe’s practice, foregrounding themes of identity and generational memory through a deeply evocative photographic language.

‘We Didn’t Choose to be Born Here’ has been exhibited internationally in both institutional and independent contexts. Notable presentations include the Royal Over-Seas League Photography Award Exhibition in London; FOAM Talent exhibitions at the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation in Frankfurt and Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam; and exhibitions at FOTODOKS in Munich, What Is Happening Here Gallery in Amsterdam, and Stevenson in Johannesburg. This series has received significant critical recognition, with features in publications including British Journal of Photography, Contemporary&, Courrier international, Aesthetica Magazine, Metal Magazine, and Booooooom.

Makepe’s work is held in several public collections, including the Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam (FOAM), the University of Pretoria Art Collection, and the University of Cape Town Works of Art Collection. The artist is the recipient of numerous awards and accolades, including the PhMuseum Photobook Award and the British Journal of Photography Award at FORMAT25 in 2025, as well as the Prince Claus Seed Award in 2024. Makepe was selected for the 2025 Joop Swart Masterclass, as well as FOAM Talent for 2024–2025, and has been recognised through multiple international shortlists, including the CAP Prize and the Royal Over-Seas League Photography Award.

His forthcoming photobook ‘We Didn’t Choose to be Born Here’ will be published in 2026 with pHMuseum.

Join us as we continue conversations around our survey exhibition, 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙒𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙚 𝙐𝙨: 𝘼 𝘾𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙁𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙋𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜, with the show’s network of artists, collectors and collaborators.

Ugandan artist Ian Mwesiga (b.1988) discusses self-reflection, his artistic process and perspectives.

“I think [this exhibition] is a very incredible window, in entering into who we are as a people, and how the artists are sort of, interrogating all of these subjects … to understand who we are as a people, as a -you know- a collective of human beings, 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨, and 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 in this world. ”

At the link in our bio you can watch the full interview with Ian Mwesiga, 1 of 155 artists participating in the survey exhibition, which runs until 3 September 2023.

The exhibition and accompanying publication was made possible through the generous support of GUCCI.

The museum is proud to announce the fifth iteration of The Atelier Programme, by welcoming the next artist-in-residence, 𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗜 𝗠𝗞𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗢.

Titled 𝗧𝗢 𝗟𝗘𝗧, the open studio space presents the inner workings of Unathi Mkonto, whose practice sits at the juncture between art, design and architecture, with an opportunity to engage the museum as a maze that his work is a part of.

Considering how people interact with “the edge of the city”, or a commercial and domestic strip of land, the artist has created a site for himself and the audience to play, investigate and contemplate. Mkonto seeks to reveal his modes of working that are often hidden and to share his drawing journals and processes as photocopies displayed in the galleries to the visitors of Zeitz MOCAA.

Taking place from 22 June 2023 until 25 February 2024 on the second floor of the museum and consisting of photographs, drawings, maquettes, sculptures, and installations, 𝗧𝗢 𝗟𝗘𝗧 is an open investigation that uses the physicality of space to engage and implicate the people who will encounter it.

Unathi Mkonto questions the ways in which architecture encourages a particular performance from the people living, working and playing in and around it. The artist will create “movable platforms” – structures that will have varying purposes, and are inspired by the corner stores, vendors, and people in his local community.

In line with the program’s vision as an exploratory space, the artist also plans to collaborate with the vibrant community of artists and creatives who have been part of his career, and we very much look forward to the creative convergence.
