South Africa

South Africa’s rich cultural heritage has been shaped by centuries of diverse influences, from indigenous traditions to colonial history and modern artistic movements. Enduring traditions such as San rock art, beadwork, and Zulu pottery are celebrated alongside contemporary forms like protest art, street murals, and textile-based storytelling.

 

The influence of music and dance remains profound, with gumboot dancing, traditional drumming, and the harmonic acapella of isicathamiya preserving the voices of the past. Today, South Africa’s art scene thrives in a fusion of old and new, showcased in world-renowned institutions like Zeitz MOCAA and the Norval
