Joburger’s are encouraged to visit the Unfinished City exhibition
JOBURG – The Unfinished City exhibition takes over Maboneng and surrounds.
As part of the current #UnfinishedCity exhibition, The Museum of Africa Design (Moad) has programmed a series of events that invite visitors back into the space for a deeper engagement with the Unfinished City, Johannesburg.
Featuring a number of events ranging from architecture and artists talks, to book signings and urban think tanks, Joburgers are encouraged to attend an activity and be inspired by the people who are inspired by Joburg.
Unfinished City is the most recent exhibition to run at Moad, showing the city’s history and uncharted potential from the Maboneng Precinct.
With the show wrapping up at the museum on 31 July, organisers have decided to expand the reach of the exhibition’s message by holding a number of talks, seminars and fun activities to showcase the true potential of the city we love.
While April’s line up of events has come to an end, there is so much to expect in May!
