  • An amazing achievement and an even better story by #graffiti master @rastyknayles, also founder of Joburg’s City of Gold Urban Arts Festival. His work now graces a new coin from SA Mint marking 25 years of democracy in South Africa #Repost @rastyknayles ・・・ From getting up in your streets to getting up in your pockets. 25 years ago my folks took my sister and I to Soweto to stand in line with them to vote in South Africa’s first democratic election. It was at the site of the 1976 Soweto student uprising, now a national monument, where, in this cold winter month of June, the black youth took matters into their own hands, giving their lives, to demand the freedom and country that was rightfully theirs. As a white 12 year old boy I could not fathom the atrocities and injustices committed during Apartheid South Africa but the momentousness of that day was very clear to me. I am grateful for this experience and will always remember it. 5 years later I started writing graffiti and fast forward another 20 years I was invited by the South African Mint to submit a design for a new series of R2 & R5 circulation coins to commemorate 25 years of a democratic South Africa. The basic premise of the SA25 coin series was a set of coins based on our Constitution designed by young South African artists. We were assigned various rights highlighted through focus groups held with the youth. I was given Section 21, Freedom of Movement and Residence. I am more than proud to finally announce that my R2 design was chosen and will be going in to production. The series was launched last week and the coins will be released into circulation over the next few months with mine being introduced in July. To have my design on a coin that people will be passing from hand to hand across the country is mind blowing for me personally and a real privilege for any artist... To see the other coins and for more information on the #SA25 project check out @southafricanmint and the website www.sa25.co.za. #Rasty
  • Yesterday we got the opportunity to explore @rmb_cib’s Think Precinct at Merchant Place In #Sandton. The occasion was the reinstallation of an exceptional work by sculptor Edoardo Villa where the public can now see it even while driving past. Definitely worth a visit - the piazza is filled with sculptures. And we took a sneak peak into the reception area to see work by @ngobeniblessing and @lucky.sibiya We love the way this corporate headquarters shares its art. #artcity #johannesburg #joburg
