SOPHIE WITH HER STRINGS OF ELEGANCE

Everard Read Group Welcomes Mary Sibande

August 6, 2025

We’re delighted to welcome Mary Sibande to Everard Read.

From representing South Africa at the 54th Venice Biennale, to exhibiting at the British Museum, the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, Musée d’Art Contemporain de Lyon, Zeitz MOCAA, and the Iziko South African National Gallery, her work continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.

Mary’s many accolades reflect the profound impact of her artistic journey. In 2013, she received the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Visual Art. She was honoured with the Award for Artistic Excellence by the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in 2017. And in 2023, she was appointed a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.

We look forward to working with Mary Sibande on the next chapter of her extraordinary career.
