As we welcome a month filled with art, love and meaningful connection, we’re looking back at this special walkabout of The Things We Love exhibition, presented during our
@vandawatershed partnership with the incredible platform,
@designweeksouthafrica .
“In a country where design carries the weight of history, aesthetic choices are political and material choices speak to access. These personal collections really become powerful statements about what it means to build a life, a home, and a sense of self through the accumulation of meaningful objects.”
