African Stories Are Finding New Homes Online Beyond Borders.
There was a time when you had to walk into a gallery to experience art, quiet halls, white walls, soft lighting. Beautiful, yes. But also a bit....distant. Now , things are changing.

MOTHERland: Her Strength, Our Story
There are stories that live in the silence, tales etched into gestures, held in the warmth of a glance, and passed from one generation to the next. MOTHERland: Her Strength, Our Story , a virtual solo exhibition by South African artist Siyambonga Magwentshu , is one such story. It’s not shouted, it’s felt. It’s not defined by borders, but by the embrace of heritage, memory, and care. This exhibition explores the enduring power of motherhood as both a personal anchor and a cul
