We asked attendees on the opening day of the Circle AVA 50 Collectors Exhibition why they think people should visit the exhibition. In this episode we talk to Thandi.
This exhibition explores some of the history of the AVA through archival material, through artworks represented in members' collections, and through new work by contemporary artists who have contributed to the success of the organisation. Audiences are offered a glimpse into South African art history, into tastes in art over time, shifting perspective, and changes in society.
