Visible at the Center for Historical Reenactments, Johannesburg.

On the 18th of May, starting at 6:30 pm, a talk around the visible platform will take place as well as a roundtable involving a group of South African artists and collectives, some of whom are already part of the visible network. The event, curated by Matteo Lucchetti, co-curator of the visible project, and Gabi Ngcobo, member of the curatorial advisory board, aims to present the project to the local audience engaging in a conversation around some of the common issues and topics for art practicioners that operate in a constant dialogue with the social sphere. The list of invited artists includes Dala, Gugulective, Donna Kukama, Made You Look, NON NON Collective, Mlu Zondi.

Cali. On the local parade for the 1st of May celebrations, Helena Producciones “took to the streets” and publicly announced the 8 Festival de Performance de Cali, demonstrating next to the workers. The open call for national and international proposals to this edition has officially been launched, and so the winning project of the 2012 visible award has started its work towards the Festival. Soon we will publish the English version of the open call to visible network followers.
