Africus: The 1st Johannesburg Biennale runs from February to April under director Christopher Till and artistic director Lorna Ferguson. It is the first large-scale exhibition of South African and international art in the country.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
