Safe Spaces – A Closing Exhibition at The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE
in collaboration with artists: Alicia Blam • Lauren Bickerdike • Athenkosi Kwinana

⸻

Over the past month, our residency has held many things: the hum of shared silence, the laughter of new connections, the delicate work of creating across difference. Through slow conversation and deep listening, we have gathered stories from the Muizenberg community — not to capture them, but to let them shape something living.

At the forthcoming exhibition at the ADMIRALS RESIDENCE, a dialogue unfolds, inviting us to explore two perspectives on the contemporary figure. This setting is not merely a display of art but an inspiring conversation between two artists whose works resonate with insights into our shared human experience.

All art enthusiasts and artists interested to experience an afternoon of art at our exhibition are invited. The opening will be on July 9th from 13:00 to 17:00. Meet the current artists, chat with them about their latest work and how they have created them during their residence here in Muizenberg. Enjoy the show or find out if the residency program is also for you.

The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE is an Institution established to study and live the artist mindset. The Program is collaborating at the intersection of art, science and entrepreneurial thinking. The flagship projects of the house are the ADMIRALS GRANT, curated Salon Dinners and the process orientated artwork ‘liveWORK’ which initiated with the idea and acquisition of a suitable property for the residence in 2010. Our work in Muizenberg is aiming to provide infrastructure, stepping stones and important landmarks for artists looking to develop a synergetic artist community network and navigating the challenges of creating impact in a world that seems to be in urgent need to preserve the power of appropriate engagement and meaningful perception of images.
