Exhibition Opening 'Serge Alain Nitegeka: Black Subjects'

Join us at WAM for the opening of Serge Alain Nitegeka's exhibition Black Subjects on Tuesday 26 August 2025 @ 18:00 for 18:30. The exhibition will be opened by Professor David Andrew from Wits School of Arts Fine Arts Department. Nitegeka presents his first institutional solo show in Johannesburg. He returns to his alma mater, where as a student, his studio was in a space above the WAM central gallery that has now been repurposed into offices. For Black Subjects, he stages a monumental sculptural intervention almost directly below this formative location, re-engaging with an institution that has been instrumental in his practice and thinking over two decades. Working across painting, sculpture and video, Nitegeka grounds his practice in a language of abstraction, geometry and colour.
