Street artists, sneaker painters, tattoo artists, graphic novelists, textile designers, and more \u2013 and explores the margins and celebrates low art in all its glorious creativity.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery exists to find, nurture, and promote undiscovered and overlooked talent \u2013 in inner cities, townships, and informal settlements. It aims to help artists hone both the technical craft of artistic production, and the commercial discipline of running a business.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery intentionally breaks conventions. Original artworks are translated into printed objects, and digital NFTs, to make them accessible to a broader audience. While printed reproductions can never replace the authenticity of the original, they rather serve to market the original, playing with the notions of authenticity, while broadening revenue streams for emerging artists.<\/p>\n<p>The first exhibition in the un-gallery is Sandra Latucca\u2019s Introducing Friends of Sophia \u2013 a collection of works on board that explores the mystical and metaphysical that exist in our everyday reality. They reflect on the interconnectedness of things, and society\u2019s responsibility to be more responsive to our spiritual selves and more responsible to the planet we share.<\/p>\n<p>Sandra is a self-taught artist, with an exceptional sense of colour and a na\u00efve style reminiscent of both Klimt and Rousseau. This is her first solo exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition runs until the end of January 2023. The full catalogue is available at https:\/\/www.10millionmakers.africa\/friends-of-sophia\/<\/p>\n<p>Funds raised through Introducing Friends of Sophia will fund Kopano Motale\u2019s exhibition of graphic designs, exploring the intersection between Himba and Ndebele, opening in February 2023.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">108<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/the-un-gallery-brings-township-talent-to-the-suburbs\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
