Loading player...
The MTN SA Foundation and UJ Art Gallery will continue their collaboration following on the successful Shifting Conversations exhibition (2017) that engaged with colonial and post-colonial narratives, and an exhibition of portraits entitled Continuing Conversations (2018) addressing various forms of identity through portraiture. The exhibition for 2019 will focus on depictions of landscape in all its manifestations.
Conversing the Land will present artworks from the permanent collections of MTN and the University of Johannesburg, as well as selected artworks derived from an Emerging Artists Development Programme. The exhibition will be curated by Annali Dempsey (UJ) and Katlego Lefine (MTN).
The Emerging Artists Development Programme affords you the opportunity to submit an artwork in response to or in conversation with, modern and contemporary South African landscape under the following themes:

· Discovering the Land (pastoral and mythical landscapes, seascapes and memory)
· The Land in Conflict (historical conflict, displacement and its socio-economic effect)
· The Land Worked (industrialisation, mining and urban development)

Ten submissions will be selected and incorporated into the Conversing the Land exhibition, with nine of these emerging artists being awarded R3 000 each and one artist presented with a grant of R30 000 for future career development.
