Sanlam Arts Round Up on FMR

The Zanzibari Years: Irma Stern – you are able to join an intimate walkabout of  this spectacular exhibition with curator Karel Nel.  

In an interview on Sanlam’s Arts Round  Up, Karel Nel gives some insights into this productive period of Stern’s work and life, during the tumultuous 1930s and 1940s, when she travelled across Africa, including to Zanzibar..  This should whet your appetite to join him on one of his walkabouts of the exhibition at the Norval Foundation.

The Sanlam Gallery Round Up is brought to you every Friday, at 15h45, on Drive Time on Fine Music Radio. Next Friday, 10 December, the focus will be on the extensive Century City Art Trail and Long March to Freedom.
