An urban oasis in Johannesburg, South Africa and the headquarters of the A42 brand. Heritage meets imagination through immersive experiences, creative making, African wellness and inspiring conversation.
Here we pay tribute to the original stewards of the land- the San, the BaTlhaping, BaTlokwa, and BaKwena peoples and more; and we celebrate the vibrant, creative cultures that have converged in Johannesburg over centuries.
Immersive Exhibition
Exhibitions at A42 House aim to contribute to emotional and spiritual wellbeing as well as repair- drawing on indigenous healing practices, art and narrative therapy, institutional psychotherapy, restorative justice and reconciliation.
