Early praise came by way of Rebecca Anne Proctor, former Harper’s Bazaar Art Editor-in-chief who opined: ‘I was really impressed by what I saw, pulling together such an all-star line-up including the likes of Bronwyn Katz, Nastio Mosquito, Stacy Gillian Abe and Victor Ehikhamenor is quite an achievement’.


Procter goes on to point out that the Triennale definitely makes a bold statement for its first edition, introducing Stellenbosch onto the scene as a setting where outdoor sculpture can be appreciated – within the beautiful landscape of South Africa.

‘The different perspectives from all over Africa makes this event special, talking to issues pertaining to joint colonial history, as it plays out in different forms from politics, to gender violence, xenophobia scarce resources and transformation’. She concludes by remarking ‘ The quality of the art and how it’s displayed across various locations adds another layer to the uniqueness of the Triennale’.


The inaugural Stellenbosch Triennale 2020 takes place 11 February – 30 April in various locations across Stellenbosch. The event brings together the finest contemporary art from Africa for the world.

The mention of Bronwyn Katz's work is intriguing! Her ability to weave personal narratives into broader themes of colonial history and identity is remarkable. It’s exciting to see how the Stellenbosch Triennale showcases such diverse talent in a beautiful setting.

Коли хочеться спробувати щось нове, корисно починати з невеликих кроків і без великих очікувань. Так легше зрозуміти, чи справді заняття приносить інтерес. Для такого підходу добре підходить https://wse.com.ua/vseznai/khobi-i-dozvillia/.

Для насичених квіткових акцентів у саду часто використовують троянди з глибоким відтінком і виразною формою квітки. Троянда Дарсі Басел добре підходить для розаріїв, парадних клумб і декоративних посадок біля будинку.

Вона може поєднуватися зі світлішими багаторічниками, лавандою чи декоративними злаками, створюючи помітний контраст. Така троянда додає композиції чіткості, глибини та більш завершеного вигляду.
