REKAOFELA is a Sesotho saying which translates to “we are together.” The phrase shares the same values of ‘ubuntu’ — embodying the celebration of African identity, the artistic expression of the power of unity and shared passion, and South Africa's rich football culture.
REKAOFELA exists as a showcase of African expression and merges photography, art, and fashion to celebrate and honour South African heritage.
“REKAOFELA means ‘we are together,’ and this pop-up is a visual representation and a visceral experience of that,” says Trevor Stuurman, founder of The Manor. “It’s being able to see one another, collectively reinforcing each other’s values and efforts and coming together to achieve shared success.”
The pop-up serves as the launch of The Manor’s latest offering: Reflecting B(l)ack, a special edition Pan-African photography publication that captures the essence and diversity of Africa. In addition to the publication, a collection of clothing by Kasi Flavour10 and artworks by Blessing Rooi will also be available for purchase.
REKAOFELA launches on Friday 8 March 2024 at 5pm to 8pm and Saturday 9 March from 12pm to 3pm.
