Creativity turns to healing this Human Rights Month, as two of Joburg’s non-profits come together to make a difference through the power of art.
Johannesburg, South Africa (05 March 2026) – The Institute for Healing of Memories (IHOM) and Joburg Child Welfare (JCW) will be co-hosting the Art For Good – Memory Lane Exhibition at 27 Boxes in Melville this March.
Over four Thursdays, the exhibition will showcase donated artworks from the MTN Foundation, other corporates, and Indoni Artists.
A headline piece by acclaimed artist Greatjoy will be featured, whose work is held in notable private collections, including those of Rich Fettke, Ava DuVernay, and Trevor Noah.

The curated collection connects South Africa’s history of struggle with themes of renewal and healing, a fitting tribute during a month dedicated to human rights.
The exhibition features works by Nelson Makamo, Flora Maphoko More, Karen Bareuther, Ramarutha Makoba, Bongani Malapane, Bongile Mkhize, Phillemon Hlungwane, Abe Mathabe, Bongi Bengu, Vincent Baloyi, Sokhaya Charles Nkosi and Muzi Donga.

All proceeds generated from the event will go directly to supporting IHOM and JCW programmes that assist vulnerable communities across Johannesburg.
The Institute for Healing of Memories is committed to empowering individuals, communities, and nations to process and move beyond the wounds of the past. Through workshops and outreach, it creates compassionate spaces for healing – meaningful work that remains as needed today as when the institute was founded in 1998.
Joburg Child Welfare is a non-profit organisation dedicated to protecting abused, abandoned, neglected, and vulnerable children across the city. With over a century of service, JCW currently supports thousands of children, families, and survivors of gender-based violence, providing everything from safe housing and social work services to nutritional support and community training.
Entrance to the exhibition is free, but RSVPs are essential due to limited space. Details here.
