We want full equal rights for every South African, without reference to race, language, ethnic origin, or creed. We believe in a single South Africa with a single set of governmental institutions, and we work together towards a common loyalty and patriotism. Yes this is not a call for a homogenized South Africa made up of identikit citizens. South Africa is now said to be a bilingual country: we envisage a multilingual country, it will be multifaith and multilingual as well. The objective is not to create a model culture into which everyone has to assimilate, but to acknowledge and take pride in the cultural variety of our people. Preparing Ourselves for Freedom: Culture and the ANC Constitutional Guideline. Published in Protecting Human Rights in a New South Africa by Albie Sachs. Former Constitutional Court Judge Albie Sachs in this beautifully written statement called for an inclusive new culture post-Apartheid, a culture that would reach across lines of social division, sparked and inspired by a cross-pollination of cultures that would highlight a shared belonging across South African people, whilst also giving voice to a diversity of heritages. Within this vein, art stands as a medium for this cross-pollination through globalised interactions and exchanges - art happenings such as the Investec Cape Town Art Fair has become an important meeting point for a dialogue between African galleries and artists. It is therefore, in light of this that I am pleased to announce that for the first time, we welcome North African and Tunisian galleries. Their participation strengthens one of the fairs goals to provide a platform for more voices from the African continent and create a connection between southern and northern Africa. What Investec Cape Town Art Fair have strived to maintain over the years is to create an ongoing dialogue with a wide range of artists, galleries and curators spanning across different parts of the world; always paying special attention to issues of sustainability and legacy. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our local galleries who not only support the fair but showcase inspiring presentations, offering only the most unique selection of artworks and hosting engaging programming during the art fair week. We extend our appreciation to Investec for their confidence in the potential of art, and for their continued support of the Fair as our title sponsor. Finally, we thank our parent company Fiera Milano S.p.A, a global leader in exhibition management and the organisers of miart art fair. We continue to draw upon their wealth of expertise, and Investec Cape Town Art Fair has continued to grow in size and quality as a result. We are proud to present Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2020, which will create an extraordinary experience for all. Laura Vincenti, Fair Director 8 INVESTEC A WORD FROM We welcome you to the 2020 Investec Cape Town Art Fair and this year’s campaign theme of art is a human investment. This year’s focus is on education. Art unlocks critical thinking skills in children and yet it’s one of the first subjects to be dropped in schools when resources are scarce. We invite you to not only enjoy the art but also to appreciate what art can do for those who get the opportunity to create it. It’s a privilege to play a role in the promotion of arts and culture in South Africa, a country as diverse as the art displayed at this year’s fair. As lead sponsor of Investec Cape Town Art Fair, for a third consecutive year, we believe that art has a value beyond wealth. It is a human investment that breaks down barriers and unites people through the universal language of an appreciation of creativity. The fair showcases pieces curated from local and international artists, allowing us to create a platform for African artists to share their work with the world. As an organisation that’s invested in art, education and each other, and as the human brand that we are, we hope you will be inspired and enriched by the showcase.

Canepa was later joined by members of the Neri family in the management of the Gallery. The Gallery currently represents several artists belonging to different cultures and experts in diverse artistic techniques and practices, some of whom have participated in significant Art Fairs and events. With its two modern locations, one being in the historical centre of Genoa, and the other in Brera, “the neighborhood of art”, in Milan - the Gallery’s activity carries on two parallel paths. On the one hand, it aims to promote the fundamental figures of art between the Fifties and Seventies and to rediscover ground-breaking artists of that period, such as Claudio Costa. On the other hand, the Gallery focuses on the discovery and enhancing of young Italian and international artists, allowing them a platform to experiment and develop their practice. The artists who collaborate with the Gallery can rely on well-developed and refined exhibitions that profoundly aid them on their artistic path. The gallery will present a solo show of: Danica Lundy, Hey there Delilah (2019), Danica Lundy Ballpoint pen on paper mounted on canvas 76.2 x 101.6cm DIRECTOR CONTACT Marco Canepa +39 0236768281 ADDRESS [email protected] Foro Buonaparte, 48 20121 Milan, www.canepaneri.com Italy facebook: @canepaneri instagram: @canepaneri 12 FIRST FLOOR GALLERY HARARE AMANDA MUSHATE First Floor Gallery Harare is Zimbabwe’s leading contemporary art gallery and educational space.
