João Ferreira Gallery hosts a group exhibition entitled Of Want and Desire. For this exhibition a group of artists will investigate themes of sexual desire. The exhibition will include, amongst others, the photography of Lien Botha and Svea Josephy, spoken poetry by Lesego Rampolokeng, and paintings by Dorothee Kreutzfeldt, Leon Vermeulen and Nadja Daehnke (who is also curating the exhibition). The broad spectrum of artistic and conceptual approaches evident in these artists’ works strike a tense dialogue between different understandings of, and approaches to sexuality.

This exhibition is sponsored by Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Development Agency and the National Arts Council.
