 AMEN | Grassroots Football Opening: 21 May 2026 at 18:00 - 21 May 2026 Participating: Jessica Hilltout In 2008, Jessica Hilltout left Brussels for Cape Town with a Hasselblad, 300 rolls of film and the curiosity of:
What does football mean across the African Continent? Over nine months, she travelled across the continent with no fixed plan, first in an old VW Beetle and later in a converted Nissan Vanette. Moving through cities, towns and open fields, she photographed football at grassroots level as the game revealed itself from place to place.
Throughout the journey, she exchanged manufactured footballs for handmade ones, returning with 35 balls that came to represent the essence of the trip and the heart of the project. The exhibition brings together a selection of works from this journey, offering a direct and considered look at the game as it is played, shared and carried forward across different landscapes. Jessica Hilltout will be joining us in Cape Town for the opening on Thursday, 21 May 2026, and will also be at Gallery F on Friday for speeches and book signings. This will be an opportunity to meet her, hear more about the project and have copies of the book signed. For catalogue enquiries, preview requests or sales information, you are welcome to reply directly to this email.
