Exhibition from 11 February 2020 – 30 April 2020

The Stellenbosch Triennale aims to make Stellenbosch the primary destination of multi-disciplinary art in Africa by tapping into the creative impetus that is reverberating across the continent.

In this framework, Leridon Collection has offered its first artistic grant to the artist Tracy Naa Koshie Thompson. The artist had been financially helped and has benefited from professionals to help her create an original artwork for the Curator’s exhibition at Stellenbosch Triennale 2020.
