Sip 'n print event brings Kasi Lullaby to life

By Nolan Stevens 

On Sunday, 18 August, we hosted an iconic sip’n print event guided by artist Lebohang Sithole as part of his ‘Kasi Lullaby’ solo exhibition in the Asisebenze gallery. Guests took a deep dive into the practice of printmaking, surrounded by the inspiring works in his exhibition, which draws from the rich, multifaceted life in eKasi. 

Lebohang’s vision for the exhibition stems from his desire to share positive, real stories of township life. In a recent interview, Sithole shared: “I want people to realise that my desire is to make sure that even a child from ekasi is considered as someone who can have this dream of being an artist.” 

His passion for using art to mentor and uplift his community set the tone for the event, where participants not only created art but also engaged with the deeper narratives behind his works.
