Latitudes Art Fair: An inclusive art fair, for a diverse people

04 October 2019

The newly established Latitude Arts Fair, co-founded by Nokwazi Zimu and Makgati Molebatsi, brings together artists, galleries, independent curators and institutions. Latitudes is positioned as a niche platform for the diverse art economies of the world. The driving force behind this fair is the promotion of contemporary African art in an economically viable manner. The attendance was plentiful, the works on show; colourful. 

‘’We need patronage of our own artists”

         – Makgati Molebatsi, Latitudes Art Fair Co-founder
