The Art We Make: Treasure Trove

In this episode, Erin and Mthabisi from David Krut Projects discuss our latest showcase titled 'Treasure Trove'at the Blue House - 151 Jan Smuts Ave, Parkwood.
Treasure Trove is
a collection or store of valuable or delightful things.

A continuation of a previous David Krut Projects (DKP) showcase of almost sold-out prints from David Krut Workshop (DKW) collaborations through the years; the Blue House at 151 Jan Smuts Avenue presents Treasure Trove.

Mentioned artworks include Diane Victor’s Springbokkie-Trojan,from her Birth Of A Nation series; a suite of ten etchings using imagery derived from classical mythology and adapted to a South African context of visuality.

Another feature is by international artist RaQuel Van Haver who was invited to spend a week at DKW making prints. During her time in studio, she began a new body of work, the definition of a system; where she depicted topics about global migration, systematic oppression, military forces, refugees and politics.
