Tucked away in Johannesburg’s countryside, we stepped into a world where craft met legacy at the Don Julio Artist Residency showcase. The golden afternoon light filtered through Crystal Birch’s suspended hat sculptures, casting mesmerizing shadows that danced across the walls. As dusk approached, Kelvin Momo’s Amapiano beats pulsed through the space, while guests moved between Lukhanyo Mdingi’s ethereal fashion pieces that seemed to float in the ambient light. Christian’s raw, intimate photographs and films transported us between two worlds, capturing the delicate threads connecting Mexican spirit and South African soul.
