Art Fair Picnic_

Location: Cape Town, South Africa

Client: Investec Cape Town Art Fair

Art Fair Picnic is an in-situ intervention that challenges the passive “white cube” gallery model by proposing softness, care and community as a different kind of environment through which to engage with contemporary African art.

In collaboration with ‘Picnic’ (@faith.shields_)
