Entitled Bird Folk, the exhibition is focused on celebrating the abundant local birdlife found in the vicinity of 44 Stanley in downtown Johannesburg. Each participating artist has illustrated a specific bird that can be spotted in the area, from Tyla Mason’s Cape Sparrow to Keya Tama’s Spotted Thick-knee.

The artists featured are Adrie Haese, Eva Faerch, Fiona Pole, Imile Wepener, Jean de Wet, Jess Jardim-Wedepohl, Joh Del, Keya Tama, Mariska Jansen, Megan Bird, Ndumiso Nyoni, Nina Torr, Paper Snap and Tyla Mason.

There will be a limited-edition run of prints sold during the launch of the exhibition on 28 May at 6pm on Brunch Shop’s Instagram and via the online shop. There will be 15 A2-size limited-edition prints, as well as 20 A3-sized digital prints, which you will be able to get printed yourself.

The exhibition launches on Instagram tonight (28 May) at 6pm. Follow @brunch_shop for updates.
