On Thursday, 28 May, we welcomed guests to the launch of 35 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 π‘¨π’“π’•π’Šπ’”π’• 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒇: 𝑨 π’π’†π’ˆπ’‚π’„π’š π’Šπ’ π‘·π’“π’Šπ’π’•π’Žπ’‚π’Œπ’Šπ’π’ˆ by A Artist Proof Studio

The evening began with words from KZNSA Executive Director Russel Hlongwane, reflecting on the importance of hosting organisations like APS in Durban’s cultural landscape.

Kim Berman, co-founder of APS, spoke about the studio’s founding vision - to create access to artistic training and opportunity - and paid tribute to the late Nhlanhla Xaba, whose contribution and commitment helped shape that vision into reality.

Nathi Simelane, APS Chief Operations Officer, shared the rich history of APS and highlighted its notable alumni who continue to shape the arts industry.

This exhibition brings together works from APS alumni across generations, alongside linocut portraits by current students - a powerful dialogue between past and present. Artist Proof Studio at 35 reminds us that legacy is alive, carried forward through shared knowledge, ongoing learning and creative practice.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.
