What’s on at Pretoria Art Museum
SORROW | Until 30 May 2022 | East Gallery
In this exhibition of works from the Pretoria Art Museum’s permanent collection, They look at artists’ interpretation of loss, pain and sorrow. The theme links globally with the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in eastern Europe.
Sorrow is a feeling of deep distress caused by loss, disappointment or other misfortune suffered by oneself or others. Many artists find a time of stress and grief to be a productive time creatively, channeling their emotions into powerful images of universal human suffering. Artists can turn disturbing images of war, starvation, illness and trauma into poignant and even beautiful paintings that resonate in the soul for a lifetime, making the viewer more sensitive and more engaged with fellow beings and the world.

Resurrecting histories: visual art: providing insight into our past
Dr Avi Sooful is currently a Senior Lecturer in Fine Arts at the University of Pretoria (UP) and her real interest is the documenting of Art History embedded in apartheid experiences. The notion of landscape is still occupying her career, especially in socio political and feminine images. As a practising artist Avi’s area of interest remains a feminist position within the visual arts. In her academic career, spanning over 20 years, she has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions.
In 2022, DITSONG; Kruger Museum (DKM) started a new initiative by offering STORIES on the STOEP, where visitors can sit in the shade, just beneath the platform of President Kruger’s train, and listen to the different narratives, of various speakers every month. The railway coach is also open on these occasions, for visitors to walk through and admire late 19th century craftsmanship.
STORIES on the STOEP will be presented at DKM every last Tuesday of the month. A guided tour through the house and exhibition halls is conducted from 15:00 and the public talk starts at 16:00. Admission fees to attend both the guided tour as well as the public lecture are payable on arrival at the reception: R50.00 per adult and R 25.00 for senior citizens and children.
If you are interested in visiting museums and learning new or old history, or if art and conservation is your passion, these stories are just for you.
Safe parking at the church opposite the Kruger Museum.

The Pretoria Art Museum invites you to the opening of the exhibition – NAMES IN UPHILL LETTERS
Names in Uphill Letters is a stills show of newsmakers who treaded (and still tread) South Africa’s soil, documented by Pimville-based freelance photojournalist and writer, M Jacob Mawela. An ongoing project, it is a visual historiography encapsulating figures in the country’s history ranging from Mrs Ples (a Hominid fossil on display at the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History in Pretoria and believed by scientists to be about 2,5 million years old, as well as being the distant relative of all humankind) to past and present role players in the sciences, politics, academia, sports, economics, literature, law, humanities, etc – and aims to dispense visual literacy as a driver of social cohesion mainly, yet not exclusively, among the country’s millennials.
