The William Humphreys art gallery in Kimberley is South Africa’s
smallest nationally funded gallery. It is also the country’s most
dynamic and innovative in terms of its response to the changing
socio-political terrain in which it has operated during its 60-year
life. From its origins as a typical colonial repository of imported
culture, WHAG now holds one of the finest collections of the
diverse streams of South African art. It also runs unique projects
which have transformed the gallery from an isolated cultural
enclave into the nerve centre for thriving outreach in the most
desolate and marginalised – and starkly beautiful – region of the
country’s hinterland. The story of this pioneering institution is
told through the experiences of a team from the gallery as it
journeys thousands of kilometres across the Northern Cape in search
of what might constitute the significance of art in human
development, and in the lives of frequently impoverished
contemporary communities. This quest for possible answers sheds
important light on the role and rationale of an art gallery, and of
the arts in general, in a changed and changing South Africa.
