The Promise

16 January 2025 - 26 February 2025

Participating: Lionel Mbayiwa, Rentia Retief, Kenneth Ndumiso, Madeleine van Manen

The Promise is the title of this year’s Nando’s Creative Exchange (NCX) exhibition, in partnership with Spier Arts Trust.
The exhibition explores the question “Where do we belong?” Each artist considers this theme through their own lens.
“As four artists from very different backgrounds, our collective narrative is that of seeking a secure sense of belonging within the environments we find ourselves in. We observe with sensitivity and respect the past and the present while cherishing dreams for ourselves and others. We reference our personal and direct observations of the environments we came to inhabit, our own situations within society, seeking meaning through symbolism and distilled imagery. Our experiences are seemingly overlapping through a recognition of the desire for the same and the search for calm within the chaos” (excerpted from the exhibition statement).
McWade encourages those in Cape Town, whether residents or visitors, to experience the exhibition for themselves.
