Art and wine are intrinsically linked and allow multiple individuals to experience the same thing while engaging and responding uniquely. As a result, Javett-UP has partnered with Aslina wines to create a wine and art tour that focuses on our curatorial project titled SCENORAMA. Join Javett-UP for this exclusive art and wine experience that is sure to make any art and wine lover feel right at home.
SCENORAMA is a curatorial project whose title combines the words ‘panorama’ and ‘scene’ to present a viewpoint of shared networks of experiences, beliefs and knowledge systems across different localities connected to the African continent. The month of May is a time for us to reflect on the meaning of Africa as a complex ideological context that goes beyond the physical locality and the idea of a Museum as a contact zone that encourages trans-disciplinary collaboration across myriad vocabularies, life experiences and critical enquiries. The Javett Art Centre at the University of Pretoria is uniquely positioned to reflect on these concepts. As an art centre that goes beyond the traditional functions of a museum, Javett-UP embraces the ever-present potentialities of the curatorial through experimentation and collaboration with artists and various partners. By staging SCENORAMA as a platform for experimentation that is initiated as a place maker/marker that is ever-shifting in form, Javett-UP is interested in the productive friction that gives birth to refreshed ideas and relationships between objects, people, places and concepts. The project will be layered over time, allowing for situations and propositions sitting adjacent to each other to shift or morph into each other. SCENORAMA includes work by Amanda Mushate (Zim), Luana Vitra (Brazil), Manyaku Mashilo (SA), Oscar Murillo (Colombia/UK), Nyakallo Maleke (SA), and Zara Julius (SA), among others.
As one of South Africa’s iconic winemakers, Ntsiki Biyela has forged a path to become a highly respected and widely admired name in wine. In 2016, she established Aslina Wines, inspired by the strength and determination of the most significant influence in her life, her grandmother. Today Aslina is renowned for its range of premium wines and is the realisation of Ntsiki’s dream to create an exceptional world-class brand.
