Event: Slovak artist, MARTIN AUGUSTÍN

When: 15 November 2024 to 16 February 2025

Opening event: Friday, 15 November 2024, from 15:00 to 18:00

Where: Pretoria Art Museum

Cnr Francis Baard and Wessels Street, Arcadia Park, Arcadia

The exhibition by the Slovak artist, Martin Augustín, will be hosted by the Pretoria Art Museum and the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Pretoria from 15 November 2024 to 16 February 2025. The Mirror of Soul exhibition came to light after the artist accepted the invitation by the Slovak Ambassador at the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in South Africa, HE Vladimír Crácz, to exhibit in South Africa. As a challenge and honour, he seized the opportunity with enthusiasm, delving into timeless and all-human topics.

Martin Augustín lives and works in Bratislava in the Slovak Republic. He is a painter, graphic artist, illustrator and graphic designer, but above all a solitary artist who chose his own path and pursues it with humility, compassion and love. Painting on paper is a medium that has long ago enchanted him and basically defines his creations. Handmade Japanese paper interwoven with thin capillaries enhances the fragility and delicacy of the final result, hinting at the interwoven threads of destiny.

Augustín has an admiration for women – the fascinating etheric beings full of mysteries. Through his artworks he depicts their poetic stories, fragility and grace. Women are not only a symbol of beauty and love but also of the eternal bond. She unites the family, builds a haven; she is tender and simultaneously immensely strong.

The more the world immerses into chaos the more necessary it is to outweigh it with peace, compassion, mutual respect and tolerance, which is the message of this exhibition.

As the year draws to a close, it’s time to start thinking about the holidays. The Dirty Boot’s Adventure Platform is the ideal resource for finding fresh and exciting activities that will get the whole family out into nature in a way that they’ll never forget. But this month we’re getting excited about River Rafting and White-Water Rafting. Whether it is something you’ve done before or something you’ve never considered doing, river rafting should be on your radar, especially as a family activity or end of year celebration with a group of friends.

It’s hard to imagine anyone ever being bored on a raft (or canoe) careening down a river, with the sound of fast water in your ear and the shouts of instructions from your river guide or your paddling companion as your raft bucks and twists. And then the relief as you enter a calm, glassy section and have time to chat and keep an eye out for wildlife, before your guide tells you to brace yourself and get ready for the next wild ride!

Tshwane is fortunate to have its fair share of navigable rivers both in proximity (like the Crocodile) and a bit further afield (like the Vaal, Sabie and Orange Rivers).

Locally based operators, Ground Zero Adventures and Liquid Adventures, have located their adventure activities on the most scenic and fun stretches of river, with sections that are fast flowing and exciting. River Rafting offers an activity that is inclusive; you don’t have to be super fit, so it’s ideal for the whole family. Trips can be customized to suit the group; age, level of adventurousness and length of experience wanted. Day trips will add a splash of energy to the school holidays, a way to get the kids excited about the outdoors. With the risk of a good soaking, phones will be happily given up and communication will be necessary to navigate the rapids. It’s a win-win!

For a life changing experience that has defined many childhood holiday memories, think taking this to the next level with a multiday rafting adventure. Your kids will experience a real sense of exploration, of going on a proper expedition out in the wilds. With evenings around a roaring fire under the stars, exciting chatter about the day’s challenges and highlights and long hot days on an endless ‘water slide’, this activity is an absolute winner.
