Meet art collective Veto, showing at RMB Latitudes Art Fair 2026

Meet the Veto Collective in our final instalment of The Faces of RMB Latitudes, which offers an intimate window into some of the artists and creative voices at the centre of contemporary African art today through six short films.⁠⁠ ⁠ Founded in 2021, Veto, (meaning the rejection of authority) is a collective of women practitioners, including Sichumile Adam, Buqaqawuli Nobakada, and Chuma Adam. Emerging from the Wits School of Arts, the collective works across painting, sculpture, installation, and printmaking to produce layered social commentary. Rather than positioning their work in direct opposition to established art histories, Veto re-centres its explorations within South Africa's own historical and cultural dialogues, examining how contemporary Black womanhood is shaped and understood in the country's social landscape. Under the guidance of artists like Gabrielle Goliath and Sharlene Khan, the collective has produced lithographs examining the commodification of women within Johannesburg's nightlife, alongside publishing The Little Black Book for Girls (2022) in collaboration with Pulp Paperworks, Victoria Yards. ⁠ RMB Latitudes Art Fair is set to take place in the enchanting Shepstone Gardens from 22 May - 24 May 2026.
