OFFICIALLY LAUNCHING THURSDAY 7TH AUGUST
In a world that constantly reshapes itself through cycles of collapse and restoration, REVIVAL invites both artists and viewers to reflect on what it means to begin again, mend or emerge anew. Each artist featured in REVIVIAL brings their own story of reclamation and growth; stories that are embedded in the textures, gestures, and colours of their work.
Visitors are encouraged to engage with The Gallery staff and exhibiting artists throughout the duration of the show to discover the powerful personal journeys behind each piece. These conversations form an integral part of the exhibition’s intent: to create space for reflection, connection, and healing.
“REVIVAL is about more than starting over – it’s about reimagining what already exists, honouring the past while creating something entirely new,” says curator, Sarah O’Reilly. “From personal healing to environmental sustainability, this exhibition is a reflection of the many ways we rebuild.” The opening night will feature a fashion show celebrating the spirit of REVIVAL through wearable art. A bold denim collection, collaboratively crafted by Disco Dawn and SÖOCHI, will be showcased on the night and exhibited in The Gallery for purchase. Each garment in the collection has been meticulously created from denim clothing that would have otherwise gone to waste-brought back to life through thoughtful design, artistic intervention, and sustainable practice.
The exhibition will be running from 7 August to 28 September 2025. Be sure to catch our First Thursdays event at The Studios, starting at 5:30 pm. Enjoy an evening of live music by Quiet Storm, complemented by a curated wine tasting experience from Lifestyle Tops. A selection of food and beverages will also be available for purchase.
The Gallery is located at The Studios, Lifestyle Centre, Ballito. Open daily from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Follow The Gallery on Instagram and Facebook @thegallerylifestyle. The Gallery WhatsApp no. 072 245 8691
