PRESS RELEASE
INVESTEC CAPE TOWN ART FAIR 2024
Feb 16 – Feb 18, 2024
Please join Everard Read in booth A8 of the Main Section, booth S4 in SOLO at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair held at the CTICC from the 16th - 18th February 2024.
2024 marks thirty years of democracy in South Africa. Everard Read has chosen to frame our exhibitions and fair offerings this year under the banner of We, the people. The first line of the 1996 South African constitution, this phrase was borrowed from the 1955 Freedom Charter and originally mid-wifed in the preamble to the constitution of the United States of America. At a time of universally dwindling democracy, rampant polarisation and increased demoralisation, our ambition is to encourage reflective conversations around agency, inclusivity, multiplicity and community. We celebrate and reassert the hard-won freedom of expression as a cornerstone of our (albeit messy and fractious) democracy, as well as the artist’s crucial role as citizen and cultural practitioner in evolving conversations and narratives in our vibrant, volatile, and versatile country.
