An Announcement
Colours of Home — the book is finished!
Friday, 9 April 2027 Durban Art Gallery, City Hall
To celebrate, I'm taking the book on the road. Three launches, three cities — each with a reading, a conversation, the original paintings on the walls and a book signing.
TICKETS go on sale on Monday, 1 February 2027 at 09:00 at Computicket (online and at Checkers and Shoprite counters). Seats are limited in every city — the Cape Town launch is in a bookshop, so it will go fast. Follow this page and you'll know the moment they're live.
Can't make it? The Cape Town launch will be streamed live, and signed copies can be pre-ordered — details under "Updates".
Thank you for walking this road with me. See you at the launch. — Kagiso
