Angele Etoundi Essamba +

Born in Douala, Cameroon in 1962, Angèle moved to France at the age of 10. She graduated from the Amsterdam School of Photography. City in which she still lives. Her vision is at the same time aesthetic, idealistic, realistic and societal. She joins the spirit of humanist photography with a strong attachment to the values of communion. With colourful, tangled, and intertwined threads, she speaks of filial, matrimonial, and transmission relationships. Beauty, symbolism, and realistic utopia are illustrated by sculptural headdresses and a control of colours including black and white. Since her first exhibition in 1985 at the Maison Descartes in Amsterdam, her work has been frequently exhibited in museums, institutions, biennales, fairs and galleries in the whole world. In 2022, Angèle Etoundi Essamba's photographs were entered MoMA's permanent collection.

Morgan Mahape +

Morgan Mahape is a self-taught artist born in 1983 in Umlazi, Durban, South Africa. Morgan Mahape's artworks are inspired by nature where vegetation is a symbol of life and development. "I work with glass beads on strings. Those are fishline strings. First, I cut out a piece of wood and use nails to hang the strings and then I put the beads one by one. Every string is independent. If you put all the strings together, you get a full picture because the technique itself is a concept of unity. Each bead represents an individual and then the beads on the strings represent a group of people. […]" - Morgan Mahape

Leila Rose Fanner +

Leila is a painter and illustrator, she was raised in South Africa and currently works from her studio in the Cape. After graduating from The JHB National School of the Arts Johannesburg, Leila trained in graphic design and water-colour painting, holding her first exhibition in 1993 at the age of 23. Her current medium is oil and oil pastel on wood and canvas. She regularly exhibits in annual group exhibitions locally and internationally.Her works are both figurative and non- figurative, distinguished by her use of dark or silhouetted figures, prolific patterning, bold colour and South African florals. Through her art, Leila unfolds a story about the soul's journey within the material world, often referencing African flora and fauna, fabric patterns and folklore. Her process is intuitive and having been raised in a family of women, displays a distinctly feminine perspective. Leila's work-flow in her approach to creativity and self-expression remains free of scholastic rules.
