Picking up on my "Hidden Joburg" series from 2022, I finally visited the home of the late sculptor Edoardo Villa in Kew.

Michelle and I spent three days exploring Bilbao, Spain, and were dazzled by the architecture and art in this once-industrial city.

Last Saturday activists, students, and concerned Joburgers demonstrated for the re-opening of the Johannesburg City Library.

St. Mary's Cathedral in downtown Joburg is one of the city's most important historic landmarks. I had never heard of it until last week.

Thorsten and I visited Dolobran, one of Joburg's quirkiest Parktown mansions, on a tour by the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation.

I visited Lavinia and Fabian Otto in Noordgesig, on the northeastern edge of Soweto, and checked out the neighborhood library.

I took a walk through downtown Jozi on a tour with JoburgPlaces. Despite all the bad press, the city is still alive and kicking.

In celebration of Heritage Month, I went on a tour of churches in Coronationville and Bosmont with the Joburg Heritage Foundation.

My boyfriend Thorsten created a series of linocut prints honoring Brixton monuments. I tried (and failed) to capture his prints in photos.

I visited Joburg's historic Drill Hall, where the artists/entrepreneurs of Exotically Divine are turning trash into art.

My sister and I spent four days exploring Rhode Island, America's smallest state. Here's a list of all the fun things we did.

Brixton-based artist Bronwen Findlay, together with her team, created a beautiful mosaic for the garden at Everard Read gallery.
