South Seen, through Limani Gallery, thrives on collaboration. Our partners extend the reach of South African creativity across local, national, and international platforms — from exhibition spaces to industry networks and sales channels.
Key collaborators such as Art Bank and Latitudes connect our artists directly to collectors, while IQOQO and VANSA strengthen our presence within South Africa’s cultural and creative industries.
