The exhibition 'Realigned' curated by selecting artworks from Oliewenhuis Art Museum’s Permanent Collection, The Art Bank of South Africa, and artefacts from the Collection Management and Library Department. Realigned features artists such as Leora Farber, Judy Woodborne, Lionel Abrahams, and Michael Selekane among many great South African artists. The aforementioned artists creatively and efficiently use a variety of subjects through their different visual expressions, making for an engaging viewing experience.

The exhibition draws its name, Realigned, from the concept of altering or restoring something to a different or previous position or condition. Exploring diverse themes such as roots, identity, mental well-being, body image, journey, tranquillity, and restoration, this annual showcase is curated by the interns of Oliewenhuis. Working under the mentorship of the Curator and Education Officer, these interns engage in a comprehensive training programme throughout their contract period.

As part of their developmental journey, the interns collaboratively shape every aspect of the exhibition, from conceptualising the theme to handpicking artworks, crafting the curatorial statement and press release, and finally curating and presenting the show in the designated exhibition space. This hands-on experience also provides them with practical skills in the professional handling and installation of artworks, contributing to their growth and expertise in the field.
