"Closer, Still", a virtual design exhibition to help townships

Now that its doors are closed to the public, the gallery for collectible design Southern Guild in Cape Town is organizing an online exhibition where part of the sale price will be destined to help townships that currently facing the Coronavirus emergency.

 

In the times of Covid-19, even the design world mobilize for solidarity. A point of reference for collectible design in Africa, the Cape Town Southern Guild gallery is now thinking about the most vulnerable among the population of his country. Among them, there are the inhabitants of the townships, forced to confinement in restricted spaces and hence often unable to put into practice a reasonable social distancing to defend themselves from the virus.

 

To make its contribution, the gallery has organized a virtual exhibition, Closer, Still. Online until 9 May, the exhibition hosted on the gallery's website shows the works of 22 artists – including Dokter And Misses, Justine Mahoney, Andile Dyalvane, Atang Tshikare –, among the most representative interpreters of contemporary African design. 30% of the sale price will be paid to the non-profit organization Afrika Tikkun, active for over twenty years within the poorest communities of the country, and now struggling to organize the humanitarian response to the pandemic.
