INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS OF THE ISRAEL MUSEUMART & CULTURE: SOUTH AFRICA

ZEITZ MOCAA

South Africa: Art & Culture ImmersionJoin the South African Friends of the Israel Museum on an immersive African art experience and celebrate their annual Gala dinner.

Vast, visceral, ever-changing South Africa is a place of ancient creative inspiration. It is the birthplace of man's earliest rock art and home of many great modern talents; William Kentridge, Gerard Sekoto, Irma Stern, Muafangejo, Marlene Dumas, Zanele Maholi and Walter Battiss to name a few.

To walk amongst them, alongside them and in their footprints is an unforgettable opportunity. Explore this diversity with visits to collections in private homes, national and contemporary galleries, artists studios, historical monuments and natural sights. Experience the work of African artists and the world in which they work, be immersed in their influences and discover Africa as muse, as mother, as masterpiece.
