In September 2019, the UNDERLINE show was presented in Johannesburg as an exhibition platform dedicated to supporting independent voices in contemporary art. The primary focus was to offer a platform to independent curators. It featured 12 curated projects accepted from an open call; a section called SITE featuring site-specific work by independent artists; a performance programme presented in collaboration with the Bag Bactory Artists’ Studios David Koloane Award; a Conversations platform supported by A4 Arts Foundation; a special solo project by Selloane Moeti and a featured publication spotlight.
