ART IN EVERY CORNER
Nelson Mandela Square transforms into an open-air gallery this season, showcasing Anton Smit's bold sculptures including Colossal Youth, Speed Head, and Astronomer’s Head. Part of the Urban Echoes exhibit, these striking pieces, which have been given a graffiti wrap by artist Mars, capture Johannesburg’s urban energy. Inside the centre, Smit’s In Moment Series and Whirlwind add a touch of elegance to your shopping experience.
