Every city is made of stories, memories and ideas about what comes next. This Keyes Art Night, we're inviting you to add yours.

🎨 Makers' Table | The Atrium - In collaboration with In Your Pocket City Guides and Open Window create a visual poem about Joburg using 13 words: three about the city you know and ten about the city you imagine. Then turn them into your own composition using words, shapes and typography.

🖊️ Zine Collection - If you joined us in July and made a zine, you’ll see the collection brought back to life on screen this Thursday. You can also collect your zine from MESH Club between 18:00 and 19:00.

And across the precinct:

🖼️ Gallery 1 | STILL - A group exhibition exploring landscapes from the Namib and Sossusvlei to the Karoo, Kalahari and Sahara, and the stories held within them.

🖼️ The Atrium | WE ARE THREE - Three years of Occupying the Gallery, brought together through class photographs from each cohort. A portrait of the artists, mentors and community behind the programme.

🖼️ The Annex | True Grit - At CIRCA Gallery, Translucent Worlds runs alongside True Grit at The Annex. Together, they offer a glimpse into Karel Nel's practice, shaped by travel, observation, memory and drawing.

🖼️ BKhz | In Our Glory - A solo exhibition by Johannesburg-based artist, curator and publisher Kay-Leigh Fisher, exploring identity, race and gender through the objects around us.

Look closely, the city is still becoming.

Join us tomorrow 💞

What does a city become when we stop simply passing through it? This Keyes Art Night, we slow down to look at what surrounds us: the artists who have shaped this place, the landscapes that preceded it, the stories held within it, and the futures we might still make.

🖼️ Gallery 1 | STILL
Look closely at landscapes shaped by time, from the Namib and Sossusvlei to the Karoo and Sahara. Inside the gallery, consider what remains. Outside, Keyes Art Mile 2.0 offers a glimpse of a landscape being transformed, with the possibility of restoring what was once here.

🖼️ The Atrium | WE ARE THREE
Three years of Occupying the Gallery come together in an exhibition of class photographs celebrating the artists, mentors and creative relationships that have shaped the programme.

🖼️The Annex | True Grit
At Circa Gallery, experience Translucent Worlds, alongside True Grit in The Annex at the Trumpet. Together, the exhibitions offer a view into Karel Nel's practice, shaped by a lifetime of travel, observation, memory and drawing.

🖼️ BKhz |In Our Glory
Explore a solo exhibition by visual artist, curator and publisher Kay-Leigh Fisher, whose practice considers narratives of becoming and the objects and relationships through which identity is formed.

🎨 Makers' Table | Your take on Joburg
In collaboration with In Your Pocket City Guides and Open Window the Makers' Table invites you to put your own words to the city. As Rosebank turns 130, create a 13-word visual poem about the Joburg you know today and the city you imagine for tomorrow.

📝 Zine Collection & Screening
If you joined us for our July Keyes Art Night and made a zine at our I Love/Hate JHB workshop, your zine will be part of this edition too. We'll be screening the collection during the evening, and you can collect your zine from MESH Club between 18:00 and 19:00 on Thursday.

Because a place is never just what we see. It is what we remember, what we make of it, and what we imagine it could become.

An extract from a new short story by David Mann.

A speculative fiction extract on decay, memory, and what survives — set against the ruins of a Johannesburg gallery consumed by fire.

Written in response to an image from the Hidden Years Music Archive, for the multimedia exhibition Decay Without Mourning: Future Thinking Heritage Practices. The full story will be published in an anthology as part of the project.

📍Dive into the extract here: https://iqoqo.org/surfacing-an-extract-of-a-speculative-fiction-piece-by-david-mann/

This is where tomorrow's conversation begins. Join us for a panel discussion exploring these very questions of decay, memory and heritage.

Bringing together perspectives across architecture, heritage, art, museum studies and Johannesburg history, the panel asks: what could the gallery become, and what might a radically reimagined museum mean for Johannesburg?

Beyond the Gallery: Reimagining the Johannesburg Art Gallery (JAG) has brought together ideas, questions and provocations around the future of one of Johannesburg's most important cultural institutions.

Now, we close the exhibition by asking: What if current decay is an opportunity? A starting point for radically reinventing public museum futures in Johannesburg and South Africa?

🗣️ Join Ashraf Jamal, Monika Läuferts le Roux, Pholoso More, Brendan Hart, David Mann, Byron Stroud and Hasina Mohammed, moderated by Alexander Opper for a panel discussion imagining what the gallery can become within a changing Johannesburg.

Bringing together perspectives across architecture, heritage, art, museum studies and Johannesburg history, the esteemed panellists will explore how the gallery might evolve, and what a radically reimagined museum could mean for the city.

The exhibition itself has been an open conversation, inviting personal readings and interpretations alongside those of the students who imagined new possibilities for the gallery. This panel continues that conversation, opening the floor to more voices and perspectives 🩷

DATE | Saturday 29 August 2026
VENUE | The Atrium, Keyes Art Mile, 21 Keyes Ave, Rosebank
TIME | 11h00–12h30

Free and open to the public. 🎙️

Join us for the final public event of Beyond the Gallery as we co-create our imagined future museum.
