STEVENSON has an international exhibition programme with a particular focus on the region. Founded in 2003, the gallery has spaces in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Amsterdam. It is jointly owned by its eleven directors. The gallery has expanded prevailing definitions of the region, bringing the work of practitioners such as Rineke Dijkstra, Shine Shivan, Sosa Joseph, Paulo Nazareth, Ruth Ige, Aziz Hazara and Frida Orupabo—who hail from different geographies and diasporas—to local audiences for the first time.
