Making Space presents a collective exploration of creative freedom, presence, and the negotiation of physical, emotional, and conceptual territory. The new Nando’s Creative Exchange brings together four emerging South African artists, Debbie Field, Fleur de Bondt, Mduduzi Twala, and Sello Letswalo, who respond to the theme of “space” through their distinctive and personal practices.

Across painting, sculpture, print, and mixed media, the artists examine how space can be claimed, opened, and transformed, reflecting on both literal and metaphorical dimensions. This group exhibition explores the multiplicity of “space”: physical, emotional, environmental, and conceptual, balancing large-scale works with intimate pieces, traditional media with experimental materials, and narrative with abstraction.

Making Space offers audiences a journey through openness, experimentation, and reflection, highlighting the artists’ courage and curiosity.The exhibition is a celebration of the freedom to create, the generosity of mentorship, and the collaborative spirit that emerges when artists are given the time, space, and holistic support to explore their practices fully.
