The KZNSA Gallery is hosting Emerging Creatives, part of the
2017 Design Indaba festival.
Each year, Design Indaba’s Emerging Creatives Programme
finds the most promising young minds of South Africa’s creative scene to give
them a leg up and hit the ground running in the industry.

their work in their hometown – at the KZNSA Gallery in Durban or at Fox
