Join us on Saturday 07 February 2026 at 12:00 for the final walkabout of the Newwork25 exhibition.
Newwork25 is a year-long collaborative project culminating in a group exhibition. The project is made up of 56 young artists from the Wits School of Arts in their final year of a BA in Fine Art. The work celebrates the right to exist, to name, and to create from histories made tangible.
The participating artists arrive having worked, persisted, and grown, shaping their practices and communities along the way. To begin is intentional; to become is political and rooted in kinship; to belong is to claim space without compromise. The works on display echo this conversation and reverberate between the gallery walls, forming the language of the Newwork25 exhibition.
Come and see the culmination of a year’s worth of experimentation, reflection, and creative growth. The walkabout will be led by representatives from Newwork25. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear their reflections and gain fresh perspectives on the exhibition. Newwork25 is facilitated by Mbali Dhlamini and Siyanda Marrengane. Parking for the walkabout is available in the garage beneath the museum; please allow extra travel time due to extensive roadworks in the area.
Exhibition closes 14 February 2026 Museum hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 to 16:00 For more information on the show and museum please contact angelique.bougaard@wits.ac.za.
