A Dialogue Across Generations

From 22–24 May 2026, RMB Latitudes Art Fair returns to Shepstone Gardens in Johannesburg, bringing together artists, galleries and cultural practitioners from across the continent in what has become one of Africa’s most compelling contemporary art platforms. Now in its fourth edition, the fair continues to distinguish itself through a curatorial approach that prioritises meaningful engagement, longterm visibility for artists and a more intimate, immersive experience of art.

For The Project Room, participation in this year’s fair presents an opportunity not only to showcase Namibian talent, but to contribute to a broader continental dialogue that reflects both the diversity and depth of artistic practices emerging from Namibia today.

This year’s presentation centres on a considered pairing of two artists: Anne Lacheiner-Kuhn and Trudi Dicks. While separated by generation, biography and lived experience, their works come together in a quiet yet powerful conversation that unfolds through form, material and restraint.

Anne Lacheiner-Kuhn, a young Namibian artist whose multidisciplinary practice engages with identity, memory and belonging, brings a contemporary lens to the booth. Her work navigates layered histories through processes of collage, sampling and reconfiguration, often reflecting on the fluidity of identity and the complexities of inhabiting multiple cultural narratives. As a queer artist working between Namibia and London, her practice is both deeply personal and politically resonant, contributing to a growing discourse around representation and selfhood within African contemporary art.
