Founded in 2014 with a focus on social and political issues and the ongoing examination of African histories – both collective and personal – Guns & Rain supports emerging contemporary African artists from seven African countries. Based in Johannesburg, Guns & Rain has held regular events and exhibitions since 2015 and is now a seasoned exhibitor at local and international fairs. The gallery also regularly collaborates with other galleries, dealers and institutions globally. Used with acknowledgment and thanks, the name ‘Guns & Rain’ comes from the acclaimed work of South African-born British anthropologist and playwright David Lan, who wrote about guerrillas and spirit mediums in Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle —for its reference to culture, identity, land, struggle, and other important themes that inform the curatorial focus and programme of the gallery. Guns & Rain is committed to fair, mindful and ethical trade.
