The exhibition reminds us of the parallels between the apartheid and Jim Crow laws.

, presents 62 works from the vast art collection held by Nando’s, a restaurant chain based in South Africa.The Dallas Art Fair blows through the city like a tornado once a year and leaves in its wake a lot of grumbling local artists and gallerists. It’s a three-day affair that demands $300 for a ticket to the preview night and $25 for a glass of bubbly and offers an assortment of easily digestible commercial art.

Farrell has worked as the executive director at the Savannah College of Art & Design, and was the senior curator at The African Center in New York. She was chosen to curate this exhibition by the late businessman Dick Enthoven, who initiated the art collection years ago. Farrell chose 62 pieces from a massive catalog of 25,000 pieces.

A contemporary South African art exhibition in Fair Park explores themes such as South Africa's apartheid system.“The themes of portraiture, place and abstraction reflect the strengths of the Nando’s Art Collection,” Farrell says."Text panels orient viewers to themes in each gallery. The hope is that people will feel immersed in shared themes of humanity and life."

“Being at the exhibition was a truly life-affirming experience," Kohler says. "It felt as if I had accomplished a milestone not only for myself but also for all those who had believed in me, and who had invested so much in my earlier career all those years ago.”
