SUMMARY:Out of the Icebox – Sanlam Celebrates 60 Years of Art Collecting with Rarely Seen Masterpieces
DESCRIPTION:Sanlam Opens Its Vaults for a Celebratory 60-Year Art Retrospective \n\n\n\nIn a momentous tribute to six decades of artistic patronage\, Sanlam is lifting the curtain on one of South Africa’s most distinguished corporate art collections. From 1 June to 29 August 2025\, the Sanlam Art Gallery in Bellville will host two major exhibitions — Out of the Icebox and Manifesto — to mark the 60th anniversary of the Sanlam Art Collection. \n\n\n\nBoasting over 2\,000 works spanning from 1874 to the present day\, the Sanlam Art Collection is now valued at an impressive R210 million. What began in 1965 as a humble initiative to decorate corporate offices has evolved into a vital archive of South Africa’s visual art heritage. \n\n\n\nOut of the Icebox: A Journey Through Six Decades of Collecting \n\n\n\nThe headline exhibition\, Out of the Icebox\, takes visitors on a rich journey through time\, showcasing 90 works acquired from 1965 to today. The aptly titled show refers to “defrosting” artworks that have been stored away or hidden in office corridors — offering the public a rare opportunity to encounter important yet rarely seen pieces. \n\n\n\nStefan Hundt\, Curator of the Sanlam Art Collection\n\n\n\nThis curated selection reads like a who’s who of South African art history\, featuring icons such as: \n\n\n\n\nIrma Stern\, Gerard Sekoto\, Walter Battiss\, Maggie Laubser\n\n\n\nGerard Bhengu\, David Koloane\, Alexis Preller\, Simon Lekgetho\n\n\n\nContemporary artists like Blessing Ngobeni\, Frans Thoka\, and Franz Asha Zero\n\n\n\n\n\n“Out of the Icebox is more than a retrospective — it’s a celebration of South African creativity and a mirror to our collective history\,” . \nsays Stefan Hundt\, Curator of the Sanlam Art Collection\n\n\n\nManifesto: Art in the Age of Protest \n\n\n\nRunning parallel to Out of the Icebox\, the second exhibition\, Manifesto\, is a compact but emotionally resonant showcase. Featuring 18 impactful works\, the exhibition focuses on themes of protest\, human rights\, and democracy\, offering a bold reflection on South Africa’s journey from apartheid to the present. \n\n\n\nInstalled to coincide with Human Rights Day\, Freedom Day\, and Youth Day\, Manifesto challenges viewers to confront historical injustice and contemplate the socio-political currents shaping the country today. \n\n\n\nBuilding a Cultural Legacy \n\n\n\nSanlam’s commitment to the arts was never merely aesthetic. Established during a period of political and cultural isolation in 1965\, the collection was a strategic act of corporate citizenship\, supporting artists whose voices were often sidelined. From its inception\, an independent advisory committee curated the works — a decision that cemented the collection’s credibility and depth. \n\n\n\nAs Hundt notes\, “Our gallery is not just a space to show art — it’s a space to reflect\, to engage\, and to confront the realities artists explore.” \n\n\n\nWith dedicated galleries in Bellville and Sandton\, Sanlam continues to make space for bold\, complex\, and often challenging works that push beyond the confines of traditional corporate collections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Cultural Treasure for the Nation \n\n\n\nWhile the collection’s market value exceeds R210 million\, Hundt insists that its cultural value is immeasurable. “Like the Medicis of Renaissance Florence\, Sanlam’s patronage leaves a permanent imprint on South Africa’s cultural history. These works are part of our national soul.” \n\n\n\nVisitors to the exhibition will come away with a renewed appreciation for the depth\, diversity\, and global relevance of South African art.  \n\n\n\n\n“Our artists can hold their own on any stage in the world. This exhibition is proof.” \nsays Hundt\n\n\n\nPlan Your Visit \n\n\n\n\n🎟️ Admission: Free to the public\n\n\n\n🗣️ Guided Tours: Available on request\n\n✉️ Email: sanlamart@sanlam.co.za\n\n\n\n📞 Phone: 021 947 3359\n\n\n\n📱 WhatsApp: 083 457 2699\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re an art aficionado or simply curious about South Africa’s visual heritage\, Out of the Icebox and Manifesto promise a powerful\, thought-provoking celebration of the country’s artistic legacy — and a rare glimpse into works that have shaped\, mirrored\, and challenged the nation for six decades.

SUMMARY:Isigqi Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Sibusiso “Mash” Mashiloane Announces Release of Eighth Album Isigqi \n\n\n\n\n\nAcclaimed South African pianist\, composer\, and scholar Sibusiso “Mash” Mashiloane is poised to release his much-anticipated eighth album\, Isigqi\, on 30 May 2025 across all major digital platforms. This release will be celebrated with a special live launch concert on 1 June 2025 at The Chairman in Durban\, featuring an ensemble of prominent South African musicians. \n\n\n\nIsigqi: A Rhythmic Tribute to Heritage and Home \n\n\n\nIsigqi — meaning “the beat” in isiZulu — is a heartfelt homage to township rhythms\, intergenerational wisdom\, and the enduring spirit of community. The album is a sonic reflection of Mashiloane’s personal and professional evolution\, deeply inspired by mentors\, cultural custodians\, and the rich heritage of South African jazz. \n\n\n\nPhoto By Siya Meyiwa\n\n\n\nThe project was recorded live at the iconic bird’s eye jazz club in Basel\, Switzerland\, during Mashiloane’s 2024 residency supported by Pro Helvetia. For the session\, he collaborated with a Swiss ensemble\, infusing his African-rooted compositions with a global jazz sensibility. \n\n\n\nA Night of Sonic Storytelling in Durban \n\n\n\nThe Isigqi launch event at The Chairman will feature a powerhouse line-up\, including: \n\n\n\n\nDalisu Ndlazi (bass)\n\n\n\nRiley Giandhari (drums)\n\n\n\nSiyalo Zulu (trombone)\n\n\n\n\nAudiences can expect an immersive evening guided by African philosophies of Ubuntu\, where emotion\, rhythm\, and memory converge in Mashiloane’s signature sound. \n\n\n\nPhoto By Siya Meyiwa\n\n\n\nA Doctorate and a Milestone \n\n\n\nAdding to this celebratory moment\, May 2025 also marks Mashiloane’s doctoral graduation from the University of KwaZulu-Natal. His academic work explored the formation of a local jazz identity\, highlighting how South African musicians channel their cultural heritage through jazz as a medium. \n\n\n\n\n“Isigqi is a culmination of many things: my personal journey\, my academic reflections\, and my tribute to those who walked before me. It’s about recognising how music carries memory\, identity\, and connection.” \n\n\n\n\nUKZN praised his doctoral recitals and thesis as “musical awakenings\,” where jazz becomes a language deeply rooted in local expression\, shaped by accent\, dialect\, and lived experience. \n\n\n\nReinforcing a South African Jazz Identity \n\n\n\nHaving already secured multiple awards and critical acclaim\, Isigqi solidifies Mashiloane’s role as a leading voice in the evolution of South African jazz — one deeply rooted in ancestral memory\, community\, and rhythmic complexity. \n\n\n\nStay tuned to Isigqi — where rhythm becomes a bridge between generations\, and jazz speaks in the language of home. \n\n\n\nPhoto By Siya Meyiwa

SUMMARY:What the Fook? A Landmark Strauss & Co Auction Celebrates Walter Battiss’s Inspired Life
DESCRIPTION:Strauss & Co is proud to announce What the Fook? The Life and Work of Walter Battiss\, a historic and unprecedented single-artist auction dedicated to the legacy of one of South Africa’s most imaginative and influential modernists. Running online from 12 to 30 June 2025\, the auction is a tribute to Walter Battiss (1906–1982)\, spotlighting over four decades of his work in painting\, printmaking\, and drawing. \n\n\n\n\n“What the Fook? celebrates the life and work of Walter Battiss\, a protean and prolific figure in the story of twentieth-century South African art. His optimism\, innovation\, and commitment to creative freedom continue to resonate powerfully.” \nsays Leigh Leyde\, Head of Sale\, Strauss & Co\n\n\n\nA Visionary Beyond His Time \n\n\n\nBattiss was more than an artist — he was a teacher\, archaeologist\, critic\, and founder of the New Group in 1938\, a progressive collective that redefined the boundaries of South African art.

SUMMARY:Once Upon A Time In Joburg Returns – Sasha Keable & GoldLink Set to Ignite 21 June 2025
DESCRIPTION:For those who know their Donell Jones from their D’Angelo\, who crave deep cuts over chart-toppers\, Once Upon A Time In Joburg is more than just a concert — it’s a movement. This R&B-focused event series is back on 21 June 2025 with a day of heart\, harmony\, and heritage\, brought to you by Doctor Bird Productions\, the curators of sonic nostalgia and timeless groove. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis year’s lineup promises another level of soul\, led by two major acts making headlines: Sasha Keable and GoldLink. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🇬🇧 Sasha Keable: The South London Colombiana Makes Her SA Debut \n\n\n\nThe soul-soaked singer from South London\, Sasha Keable\, is touching down in Johannesburg for the first time ever — and fans are already buzzing. Known for her sultry\, unfiltered take on R&B\, Sasha mixes 90s soul with Latin rhythms and British honesty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom writing with Disclosure to delivering standout tracks like “That’s the Sht”* and her recent single “Act Right”\, Keable brings vulnerability and power in equal measure. Whether she’s singing about heartbreak\, healing\, or hard truths\, her voice resonates like few others — and on 21 June\, it’ll echo through Joburg’s iconic James & Ethel Gray Park. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🌍 GoldLink: The Grammy-Nominated Icon Returns \n\n\n\nAfter a show-stopping performance in 2019\, GoldLink is coming back to South Africa\, and the excitement is real. The Washington D.C. native is celebrated for his genre-blurring style — blending hip hop\, dance\, R&B\, and electronic elements into a sound that’s uniquely his. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHis breakout mixtape “The God Complex” and global hit “Crew” featuring Brent Faiyaz and Shy Glizzy marked him as one of hip hop’s most innovative voices. Now\, he’s returning to the Joburg stage\, bringing high-octane energy and unmatched lyrical finesse to a city that knows how to appreciate real artistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Day for the Culture \n\n\n\nOnce Upon A Time In Joburg isn’t just about the artists — it’s about the community of R&B lovers\, the ones who stream albums in full\, collect vinyl\, and know the lyrics to every B-side. This event is for those who’ve waited years to hear these voices live. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith Phase 1 tickets already sold out\, the momentum is undeniable. Phase 2 is now on sale\, so don’t miss your chance to be part of a day that celebrates the underrated\, the unforgettable\, and the undeniably soulful. \n\n\n\n#OnceUponATimeInJoburg #SashaKeableLive #GoldLinkLive #RNBInJoburg #DoctorBirdProductions #JoburgEvents2025 #RealRnB
