Gliding Through Art & Design - CPT
Cape Town · De Waterkant
Tsoko Art Advisory presents Gliding Through Art & Design for Design Week South Africa: Cape Town, a curated journey through the city’s creative landscape, led by Mpumi Mayisa. Explore art and design spaces, meet artists and designers, and hear insights into their practices before ending with Breaking Bread: wine, food and community.
Mpumi Mayisa
Founder of Tsoko Art Advisory, Mpumi is a Johannesburg-based curator, writer and cultural worker whose practice is rooted in deep research and a love for material storytelling.
She has worked across the African art ecosystem as a curator and collaborator — from Junior Curator of the NIROX Foundation Winter Sculpture Exhibition (2018–2020) to curatorial projects like Bathini Abafazi?, A Crescendo of Daydreams, and Hlukanisa, uHlanganise — creating spaces where heritage, memory and contemporary expression intersect.
Through Tsoko Art Advisory she guides collectors to build collections that map identity, foster belonging, and create a legacy for generations to come.

Mpumi Mayisa sat down with Silindokuhle Shandu for a little peek behind the practice, from what gets her creative, to what’s playing in the studio, the joys of collage, a good meal, and the place she calls home.
