Shaka Madida exhibits artwork at international exhibition in the Netherlands

Nine-year-old South African artist Shaka Madida has participated in the international exhibition, “Connecting the World Through Art,” held at the Kapelkerk in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. The event brings together artists, students, and communities from diverse cultural backgrounds to promote creative exchange.

Madida, the son of media personality Nandi Madida and musician Zakes Bantwini, previously held a solo exhibition in Johannesburg to mark his ninth birthday. His recent work in the Netherlands follows reports that his talent impressed an art agent in Amsterdam, who now represents him. The exhibition program includes live printmaking workshops and musical performances, aiming to showcase art beyond traditional gallery settings.
