Join us as we journey through the captivating world of art and culture with Sean O'Toole, a veteran journalist, writer, and curator for the solo section in the upcoming 11th edition of the Investec Cape Town Art Fair in 2024. Sean gives us a peek behind the curtain of his life and the art world, along with his experience in curating, discussing the intriguing balancing act between artistic ideas and the medium of painting.

We navigate the fascinating history of museums and Biennales in Africa, and the role played by art fairs. We also delve into the concept of unity and separateness in Africa, the democratization of travel, and interactions amidst various African countries. We also talk about contemporary painting in Southern Africa, exploring its evolution, resurgence, and the challenges faced by artists.

We delve into the contemporary art scene of 2023 and its implications in the digital age. Sean highlights the most impactful artists, shedding light on how the digital age offers both challenges and opportunities when it comes to redefining art. We'll probe into how the industry, especially on the African continent, could be shaped by this, and how technology democratizes access.
