Art In The Forest – Light From Africa Foundation

Art in the Forest, a stunning art gallery and ceramics studio located in Cape Town, presented a group exhibition entitled “Passages”, comprising artworks by young emerging artists based in Johannesburg and surrounding areas.

The artworks – linocuts, etchings, screen prints, mono prints, collages – offer the artists’ reflections on the challenges and opportunities in daily life. “Passages” evokes transitions from one condition or place to another, journeys, openings and boundaries, pathways and gateways. It can imply progress, forward movement, and evolution; or movement from tradition to modernity, rural to urban settings, youth to adulthood; or the lack of passages, the impact of things standing still, staying the same.

All profits made by Art in the Forest will benefit the Light from Africa Foundation which generates critically required funding for South Africa’s vulnerable children. They aim to achieve this objective through fundraising as well as the sale of art and products at the art hubs and the creation of bright ideas for sale to the retail and wholesale markets.
