For my RFI's podcast, Spotlight on Africa, I spoke with artist Gavin Jantjes to chat about his To Be Free! A Retrospective 1970-2023, which was first shown in Sharjah, in the UAE, then in London's Whitechapel Gallery, on view until 1 September 2024.

The exhibition traces his journey as "a creative agent of change" from South Africa to Europe, celebrating his multifaceted roles as painter, printmaker, writer, curator and activist.
