A Celebration of Interdependence through African Art
Artyli Gallery is honoured to present Ubuntu, a captivating exhibition at SCOPE Art Fair in Miami (3-8 December 2024), featuring the works of prominent South African artists Bambo Sibiya, Andrew Ntshabele, and emerging talent Frans Thoka. Inspired by the ancient African philosophy of Ubuntu—meaning "I am because you are"—this exhibition embodies the profound interconnectedness of humanity. As the central theme of SCOPE Art Fair 2024 is Interdependence, Ubuntu is a fitting exploration of the shared bonds that define and uplift us all.
Each of these three exceptional artists reflects upon the intimate ties between individuals, community, and the land. Through diverse media and compelling narratives, their work calls attention to the themes of tradition, memory, land ownership, cultural identity, and the unyielding resilience of the human spirit. These deeply personal yet universally resonant themes transcend geographical boundaries, offering insight into the larger dialogue surrounding race, identity, and social justice in the African diaspora and beyond.
