    The Lockdown Collection Portfolio Finalist

    An art initiative founded in 2020 to capture South Africa’s historic Covid-19 lockdown and support vulnerable artists.
    Like so many other things in our current Coronavirus world, the world of art and artists is reeling from the shock waves of this global crisis. At the same time, we are more in need of art than ever, of ways to reflect and interpret the space that we find ourselves in.
    The Lockdown Collection (TLC) is a 48-hour-idea-to-launch initiative formed by Sirdar Group, MRS WOOLF and Artist Proof Studio to capture the reality of the Pandemic with and through visual artists. Through the sale of these historic artworks, funds are raised for the newly created Vulnerable Artists Fund (VAF) and these funds are dispersed to keep artists in South Africa sustained and active in their lives and the ongoing creation of their work.
    The initiative has raised over R3.5Million in just over a year and counting and has paid out over 500 grants and bursaries

    2020

    Green Recovery Portfolio Finalist

    The project reflects on strategies to instill hope and to envision climate governance that recognizes a sharing of the benefits and burdens of the transition to net zero carbon. The project included the launch of a South African Visual Art Exhibit and sale of the art of winners of a competition held in collaboration with the University of Johannesburg and Artist Proof Studio among South African art students for print designs on climate change and a hopeful vision for a ‘green recovery’ of our economies. This also included the release of a new virtual choir song titled Time for Hope, in a collaboration between the Canada Climate Law Initiative and Live Canon, with voices and pledges from around the world.

    Managers Choice Award

    The accolade was awarded to me as a result of my creative work for the Cashbuild Art At HeArt Community Competition run in partnership with local primary schools.
