The exhibition 'Atlas of Uncertainty: Transforming African Cityscapes' has opened at Johannesburg's Origins Centre, running until 3 July 2026. It brings together artists, scholars, writers, and urban thinkers to explore African cities through film, installation, sculpture, photography, tapestry, sound, and speculative practices, focusing on themes of mobility, memory, infrastructure, migration, repair, and belonging.
The exhibition challenges dominant crisis narratives about African urbanism by presenting cities as spaces where the future is already being negotiated. Part of a broader interdisciplinary project including a forthcoming publication and digital platform, it questions singular narratives and fixed forms of knowledge, proposing that African cities are central to imagining an uncertain urban world.
