Art Joburg visitors will be spoilt for choice with three leading art specialists hosting the guided tours, each giving the public an insight into their respective selection of artists and their works:

Prof Federico Freschi, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture at the University of Johannesburg who recently returned to South Africa following his three year tenure as Professor and Head of College at the Otago Polytechnic in New Zealand; well known art fair speaker, Ashraf Jamal, academic, art writer and cultural theorist, and curator and co-founder of the intervention, Exhibition Match, Dr Phokeng Setai, with a Ph.D in Anthropology and interests focused on the visual arts.

Panel discussions will cover a broad range of topics from artist patronage which will feature an interview by Ayana V Jackson with Blessing Ngobeni, the importance of collection management and valuations, insights into the South African Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and three decades of a democratic Johannesburg through contemporary art with artists Sam Nhlengethwa and Senzeni Marasela.
