Celebrating 20 years of ASAI!
We invite you to join us for a full afternoon celebrating 20 years of ASAI: making art history from below.
Date: Friday, 28th November 2025
Venue: KZNSA Gallery, 166 Bulwer Rd, Durban
Time: 12:00 - 18:00
The afternoon will begin at 12:00 with ‘Artists on the Decks’, an informal event where local artists, dr dj, Rafs Mayet, Sfiso Ka-Mkame & Russel Hlongwane will play records selected from their private collections. Additionally, local artists will facilitate an art activation, 'Collaborative art making', open to public participation.
This will be followed by a roundtable discussion at 16:30, bringing together representatives of Durban-based visual arts non-profits, ASAI, KZNSA Gallery, Amasosha Art Movement, the BAT Centre, Unlearn to learn, Contemporary Archive Project and VAR DBN to reflect on the question of “A shared vision? The role of non-profits in the making of Durban’s visual arts scene.” Special attention will be paid to how collaborative projects have played, or can play, a critical role in building the visual arts sector locally, nationally and internationally.
