UCA in South Africa
It’s one of the greatest countries on the planet, and many of its residents refer to it as their mother. South Africa has a magnificent and difficult history, having seen some of the most amazing events of the 20th century, and it’s still in the middle of its evolution, its fate tied to the human race. The fantastic diversity of cultures and traditions here is always changing, and it has a stunning beauty that never fails to dazzle anyone who visits here. There is a lively night life in all of its larger cities, and even in the small towns there is always something going on after dark. For travelers looking to spend some time here enjoying the fruits of splendor, there are some magnificent luxury hotels. South Africa offers a beautiful hospitality to travelers, and has an energy to replenish even the most tired souls.
It’s a pleasure to begin a day here in sumptuous beauty, enjoying a spa treatment and perhaps a splendid meal in your hotel, then heading out to see what kinds of adventures await you. There are all sorts of attractions to appeal to travelers of all ages, and if you’re in the mood to see some of the local art, there are lots of galleries to fulfill your desires. If you’re in Cape Town, one of the hottest and consistently interesting spaces in town is the UCA Gallery. This is a white cube space that’s been open since 2008, and the interior has a fantastic, minimalist feel. Their work is always innovative and provocative, and they have an enormously interesting curatorial team involved in selected the exhibitions.
The UCA Gallery is pretty slick, and unlike other spaces where the facade is classy and elegant, the work stands up to the surroundings, and it’s apparent that there is something very exciting happening here. The focus is on local artists, to showcase some of the most interesting work here, as well as attracting international artists to the space. It’s a great way to begin artistic conversations, and in some of the more established spaces, one feels like they’re entering into a history of dialogue, and this space has managed to install a sense of historical weight into the short time they’ve been working here.
