Join Catlin Gallery for an intimate walkabout and guided talks on African Tribal Art at their gallery at Summer Place, Glencairn.
Step into a world of heritage and craftsmanship as you experience museum-quality African Tribal Art up close. Designed for small, exclusive groups, each walkabout offers a personal and immersive journey through a remarkable private collection—available to view and acquire.
Celebrated artists such as Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso drew profound inspiration from African art, with its bold forms and symbolic depth shaping movements like Cubism. This enduring influence speaks to the power and legacy of these extraordinary works.
More than decoration, African Tribal Art is “functional art”—rich in meaning and deeply woven into daily life. Each piece reflects spirituality, identity, community, and heritage, offering a rare glimpse into traditions that are increasingly disappearing from their places of origin.
The gallery showcases an exceptional collection of Zulu and Xhosa tribal treasures, dating back to the early 19th century—each piece carrying its own story and cultural significance.
Walk about and private tours are by private appointment through the reception desk at Tintswalo Hotels or T +27 (0) 82 731 7561. The gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday for people to pop in and view the full range of art.
