The gallery specialises in contemporary Bushman Art from three different San communities. The !Xun and Khwe were featured at an exhibition held at the National Gallery in Cape Town. San artists work such as Flai, Hendelina, Simon, Abraham and Filipus are all available for sale at the gallery. Gallery owner, Cheryl Rumbak has a special relationship with the Namibian Bushmen community for whom she held several painting and print-making workshops and can elaborate on the individual artists and their work.
Alternatively their work can be bought as beautifully printed fabrics off the roll or as quality home décor products such as tablecloths, duvet covers, bags and placemats. These San textiles were launched at the Design Indaba last year and proved an enormously positive opportunity for generating welcome financial aid in terms of royalties from the sold meterage for their communities.
