  'The Promise' Nando's Creative Exchange group exhibition

  The Promise is the title of this year’s Nando’s Creative Exchange (NCX) exhibition, in partnership with Spier Arts Trust, which opens at HUB Gallery in Cape Town to the public on 7 November 2025 (as part of First Thursdays) and shows until 10 January 2025. It showcases the work of four talented artists: Lionel Mbayiwa, Rentia Retief, Kenneth Ndumiso and Madeleine van Manen.
  
  The exhibition explores the question “Where do we belong?” Each artist considers this theme through their own lens.
  
  “As four artists from very different backgrounds, our collective narrative is that of seeking a secure sense of belonging within the environments we find ourselves in. We observe with sensitivity and respect the past and the present while cherishing dreams for ourselves and others. We reference our personal and direct observations of the environments we came to inhabit, our own situations within society, seeking meaning through symbolism and distilled imagery. Our experiences are seemingly overlapping through a recognition of the desire for the same and the search for calm within the chaos” (excerpted from the exhibition statement).
  
  McWade encourages those in Cape Town, whether residents or visitors, to experience the exhibition for themselves, either at HUB Gallery until 10 January, or at the AVA Gallery from 16 January to 26 February 2025.
  
  The exhibition is on display until 10 January 2025.
