Junkyard Dogs Exhibition

Share

Don’t miss the landmark exhibition, “Junkyard Dogs,” showcasing the powerful work of two South African artistic icons, Willie Bester and Pitika Ntuli. This exhibition is not merely a display of art; it’s an immersive and thought-provoking experience where metal meets memory and resistance is built from the ruins.
Co-curated by the visionary duo Tumelo Tumi Moloi and Ashraf Jamal, “Junkyard Dogs” explores the transformative power of art. Both Bester and Ntuli, forged in the struggle for freedom, use found objects and industrial waste to create sculptures that are fierce, unbreakable, and protective—much like the junkyard dogs from which the exhibition draws its name. Their work demands attention, confronting viewers with a hybrid art form that fuses the man-made with the organic, turning decay into something truly beautiful.
