The Maputo: A Tale of One City exhibition presents a selection of works ranging across a diversity of media such as photography, video, painting, installation and drawing. The exhibition co- curated by Bisi Silva from Nigeria, Marianne Hultmann and Daniella van Dijk-Wennberg both from Norway attempts to highlight the way in which artists explore and articulate the realities, histories, identities, energy and complexity of Maputo, a city that has been chosen as a curatorial reference point for this exhibition.  Maputo is a city where old and new goes hand in hand. The colonial past is still very visible in the cities’ landscape and at the same time new buildings are erupting and being abandoned. The city is a port city where international influences fluctuate in and out. This process of exchange is very visible in the contemporary art scene of Maputo.

The National Gallery of Zimbabwe presents a solo exhibition of twenty- one large and eight small oil paintings by John Kotze.  Abstract is John’s second exhibition at the National Gallery since 2005 and the works on show will demonstrate what has been happening to John in the intervening six years since his last exhibition.

On show are fifty art works that the 16 students have executed through different mediums and techniques that include; drawings, paintings, metal and stone sculptures, graphics, photography, printmaking as well as video art, which is being shown for the first time at this exhibition.
