proto~ is the store at A4 Arts Foundation. As an extension of A4’s programme, proto~ experiments with the ‘museum shop’ as a site of production and exchange. It draws inspiration from artists working in their studios, in practice and play, and provides a platform for artists to share fragments and processes.

The hub of this investigation is a collection of ensembles and maquettes which are for sale in-store. proto~’s utility range includes stationary, notes and totes – and in print a selection of photo essays, monographs, zines, and vinyl.

A4 Arts Foundation is a free-topublic, not-for-profit laboratory for the arts of Southern Africa. A three storey building on Buitenkant Street is home to A4’s exhibition space, studio, archive and classroom.

Night shopping opening hours: 5pm – 8pm (5, 12 + 19 December)
