Investec Cape Town Art Fair are delighted to announce that Listen is our curatorial concept for the 13th edition of the Investec Cape Town Art Fair, taking place from 20 – 22 February 2026.
In a world saturated with noise, urgency and individualistic self-expression, listening is an increasingly radical act. Listen is not passive. It is an active, embodied, ethical gesture. Listen is an invitation: to pause, to create space, to hold complexity, to tune in to what lies usually unheard beneath the surface.
For #ICTAF2026, Listen emerges as both a curatorial proposition and a sensorial framework, explored through sound, silence, resonance, resistance and the myriad ways in which artists invite us to hear differently.
More than just a theme, Listen is a mode of engagement and a way of being with art, with one another, and with the moment. It asks artists to reflect on what it means to be heard. It challenges curators to assemble sections that cultivate attention and presence. It encourages visitors to participate sensitively in meaning-making.
Join us to witness powerful translations of visual language and Listen to the voices on the cutting-edge of contemporary art, enriched by the soundscapes that echo throughout the city of Cape Town, our world, and the global art community.
