BELONGING
by
NOW SHOWING

If you haven’t yet pop by this week to see the latest showing by | The works in this exhibition are layered—both physically and conceptually. Fragments of imagery come together in ways that feel intuitive, almost subconscious. And much like our own identities, they are built from multiple influences, memories and experiences, coexisting within a single space.

BELONGING
by
NOW SHOWING

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for the opening of latest solo exhibition. The title Be Longing holds a quiet tension. It separates the idea of belonging into two states: being and longing. To belong is often understood as feeling at home—within a place, within a community, or within oneself. But Anne reminds us that belonging is rarely that simple. It is fluid. It shifts. And very often, it exists alongside a sense of longing—for another place, another version of ourselves, or another moment in time.

BE LONGING

OPENING: FRIDAY 17 APR 2026 [18H00]
DRESS CODE; dress like you belong

Join us this Friday for the opening of Be Longing by Anne Lacheiner-Kuhn. The artist’s collage practice brings together images and objects in carefully constructed compositions, where fragments of different contexts coexist within a single frame. Each element retains traces of its origin, yet contributes to a new narrative when combined with others. The resulting works mirror the way identities are built from overlapping experiences, memories and cultural references.

We look forward to welcoming you all!

SAVE THE DATE: FRIDAY 17 APR 2026 [18H00]

Over the past decade, Lacheiner-Kuhn has exhibited widely both locally and internationally, with shows across Namibia, South Africa, Europe and the United States. Her work has been shortlisted for awards such as the Clifford Chance Sculpture Award and the SASOL New Signatures Award, and forms part of notable collections including that of the Department of Science and Technology in Pretoria. Alongside her artistic practice, she has also established an unusual parallel career as a Special Effects Snow Technician in the film industry, contributing to major productions including Murder on the Orient Express, Game of Thrones and House of Gucci.

Yet it is the quieter and more introspective questions of identity and selfhood that form the centre of her artistic practice.

“My work has always explored identity in some way, so the idea of ‘be longing’ has always been present,” she explains. “Splitting my life between Namibia and the UK, the concept has become more amplified over the last three years. Both places give you a different sense of belonging, and when you are in one, you inherently miss or long for the other.”

BE LONGING

SAVE THE DATE: FRIDAY 17 APR 2026 [18H00]

In her upcoming solo exhibition Be Longing, Namibian artist Anne Lacheiner-Kuhn reflects on the shifting and often contradictory nature of belonging. Through a new body of collage-based works that expand into layered, three-dimensional compositions, the exhibition explores how identity is shaped by place, memory and movement.

This tension between being and longing lies at the heart of the exhibition’s title. It suggests both the state of existing in a place—being—and the simultaneous desire for something beyond it—longing. For Lacheiner-Kuhn, these dual states mirror the lived experience of many people navigating multiple cultural and geographic identities.

Mark your calendars, it’s gona be a good one. We look forward to welcoming you all.

TIME AND LIGHT
by Helga Kohl
NOW SHOWING

Pop by the gallery to view the latest showing by Helga Kohl. Many of you will recognise her iconic images of Kolmanskop, where the desert slowly moves through doorways and across rooms, reclaiming what was once a thriving diamond mining town. In the photographs from Elizabeth Bay we see something similar — buildings standing quietly against the forces of erosion and time. In contrast, the architectural abstractions from Windhoek remind us that this fascination with form, line and structure is not limited to ruins; it is present in the contemporary city as well.

Full catalogue available through the link in the bio.

LIGHT AND TIME
by Helga Kohl
NOW SHOWING

This exhibition presents a selection of works by Helga Kohl, bringing together her iconic series on Kolmanskop and Elizabeth Bay alongside abstract architectural photographs from Windhoek. Rooted in a deep sensitivity to light and time, Kohl’s images explore how built environments carry memory long after they are abandoned. Her photographs reveal the quiet interplay between structure and erosion, presence and absence. Together, the works invite viewers to reflect on architecture as both a physical form and a poetic record of human history.

Pop by at our opening times to view this moving works. Full catalogue available through the link in our bio.

TIME AND LIGHT
by Helga Kohl
NOW SHOWING

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for the opening of Time and Light on Saturday. Helga has spent decades observing how spaces change — how buildings hold traces of human life long after they have been abandoned, and how light transforms these structures into something almost poetic. Her photographs are never rushed. They come from patience, from returning to a place again and again, waiting for the moment when the light and the space align.

To view these poetic works, pop by the gallery or follow the link in our bio for the full catalogue.
