Manifest
An exhibition exploring navigating urban identity and living within the metropolitan experience 29 Nov - 9 Dec 2023 Preslav Kostov, Luke Silva, Selwyn Steyn and Rafal Zajko meet to express their own identities amidst the anonymity of city living, through their art and its subjects. The central theme addresses the influence of the urban environment on self-expression, personal connections and intimate moments that occur within this urban matrix.

These works are moments of contemplation in the face of sensory overload, and capture the quest for solace amongst the chaos of a city.
The connections between this group of artists and their respective practices cut to the very heart of our social existence.
