THE FIRE IS STILL BURNING... BUT WE PAUSE TO SAY - RE A LEBOHA!

Ha Magriza Residency | The Art Space

What happens when heritage meets art?
What happens when a kitchen becomes a gallery?
What happens when mountains start speaking?

YOU SHOWED UP. AND YOU ANSWERED.

From the depths of our Maluti heart, we at Ha Magriza & The Art Space bow our heads in gratitude to every soul who blessed our Residency.

To our pillars of honor:

👑 Morena Moremoholo Mopeli - Your blessing gave us roots
👑 Matsieng Royal House - Le re file seriti
🏛️ NHC (National Heritage Council) - For protecting our story
🎨 NAC (National Arts Council) - For believing art lives in the village too
🎓 UFS - University of the Free State - Knowledge met the kraal
🔥 Lehaeng La Wetsi - The flame keepers
🌍 Qwakanda - The dreamers who dare
⛰️ Thaba Ronto - The mountain spirits
🙏 DN, BM, EPH - Our silent strength

And to EVERY artist, every gogo, every child, every visitor who walked through our doors...

You didn't just attend an exhibition.
YOU BECAME THE EXHIBITION.

Your presence was the art. Your contribution was the heritage. Your voice was the archive.

Without you, there would be no walls to talk, no plates to remember, no residency to feel.

This is not goodbye.

Ha Magriza Residency CONTINUES...
The pots are still warm. The stories are still simmering.

Re tla kopana hape. Soon. Same sacred space.

With love, dust, and mountain smiles,
Ha Magriza x The Art Space
