I Am Free A Reception: Honoring the 50th Anniversary of the Soweto Uprising

Join I Am, We Are and Denzil’s & Jo Gallery for I Am Free: A Reception Honoring the 50th Anniversary of the Soweto Uprising, an intimate evening of art, culture, memory, and impact.

Guests will experience a curated collection of work by South African artists exploring themes of freedom, identity, resilience, and community. The exhibition will feature both emerging and established artists, creating access for new voices while expanding the reach of artists already contributing to South Africa’s cultural landscape. Auction proceeds will support participating artists and IAWA’s youth leadership and work readiness programs. Whether you are attending as a collector, art lover, partner, sponsor, or friend of IAWA, this evening is an invitation to celebrate creativity, honor youth-led freedom movements, and invest in the next generation.
