Using gold leaf and other mediums in her work is the daring Lerato Lodi from Atteridgeville. Her work is the basis of a personal journey in negotiating the stigma often associated with both indigenous spirituality and the political history of Christianity. A very apt and compelling demonstration of the theme“CAFT understands that art is a valuable part of our being as a people.
With over 100 pieces of work from over 25 artists, this inaugural art fair seeks to bring the nation’s capital to the forefront of the global art conversation. CAFT, in its bold spirit, aims to amplify the capital city’s role in art as a central hub where diverse voices converge, where history is not only made but also depicted on canvases, and sculptures take pride of place in a range of galleries and private collections.
In curating the artists for the art fair, Lethabo Gumede has been guided by a profound sense of purpose. She understands the significance of art as a means of preserving our cultural heritage and shaping our collective understanding of history. For Gumede, it’s about more than just showcasing beautiful artworks; it’s about archiving the diverse narratives of the African continent in a way that contributes to positive historical knowledge.
Yet, perhaps what is most important to Gumede is the ability of art to create memorable moments that bring joy to both patrons and artists alike. In a world often fraught with challenges and uncertainties, these moments of beauty and wonder serve as beacons of hope and inspiration. They remind us of the inherent goodness and creativity that resides within each of us, and they offer glimpses of a brighter, more vibrant future.
