Sakhile&me

Sakhile & Me is an international exhibition and research space working with established and emerging contemporary artists, curators, critics, and researchers. We intentionally prioritize the African continent and its diasporas, with the goal of drawing attention to contextual specificity in and through art - in content, artistic medium, and genre. We promote the work and development of artists and researchers by investing in solo and small group exhibitions, both on the African continent and abroad, art fair participation, partnerships with other galleries and art institutions, educational workshops, and personalized tours of our space. Sakhile & Me is committed to developing a strong art program that invests in the development of the artists we work with and facilitates educational events that encourage audiences to come to a deeper appreciation and understanding of our artists' work. As we view art as both a platform and a teaching tool, we host artist talks, invite specialists in various fields related to our artists' work, and partner with artist residencies, curators and art historians to help increase our artists' public exposure and offer them platforms for research and conversation. That means we also aim to support our artists beyond Sakhile & Me and focus our audiences' attention on the content of the artists' work available at other commercial and non-commercial venues.
