The Manor Presents a Special Project at RMB Latitudes Art Fair 2025
Johannesburg, South Africa — The Manor is proud to announce its participation in this year’s RMB Latitudes Art Fair with a special project that responds directly to the 2025 theme of ‘Co-Production.’
In alignment with the fair’s ethos of collaboration across disciplines, The Manor will debut a multidisciplinary installation that celebrates African art while also covering the event as an official media partner, providing insights into exhibiting artists, design showcases, and other special projects.
The Manor’s special project for this year is a meditation on how meaning is made — and remade — through collaboration. It is a physical manifestation of their special edition Pan-African photography publication, Reflecting B(l)ack, reinforcing the power of visual storytelling and offering a unique perspective on the beauty, resilience, and innovation embedded in African artistry.
Their presentation invites audiences to engage with the layered process of storytelling through a visual experience that continues The Manor’s ethos of celebrating design, creativity, and African art.
“This year’s theme of ‘co-production’ is a nod to the Fair’s central ethos of working collaboratively with and connecting all players in the art industry,”
— Lucy MacGarry, co-founder and director of RMB Latitudes Art Fair and Latitudes Online.
“The theme sees galleries, artists and institutions come together to create an exciting programme of exhibitions and special projects, exemplifying the truly African sentiment of what is possible through collaboration.”
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Shepstone Gardens in Johannesburg, RMB Latitudes transforms the iconic three-acre property into an indoor-outdoor art space with over 50 participating exhibitors and hundreds of artists.
The fair creates a unique opportunity to discover contemporary African art, engage with the numerous exhibitions, and explore the evolving relationships between artists and their audiences.
The fair is a cultural hub where artists, curators, and the public come together to engage in meaningful conversations. Visitors can enjoy a curated program of art installations, live talks and interactive experiences
— all of which bring the African art scene to life.
