Founder And Director
CurrentThe Inside Out Centre for the Arts is a not-for-profit foundation, established by artist-photographer Roger Ballen to serve a dual purpose. First, the Inside Out Centre acts as an art exhibition space, presenting shows that explore issues related to the African continent from a distinctively aesthetic and psychological perspective. Second, the Inside Out Centre facilitates a dynamic programme of educational talks, panel discussions, masterclasses and presentations that reflect on the current exhibition and on topics relevant to the arts. We will also have special programmes for high school groups based on the current exhibition. These include programmes for Visual and Dramatic Arts, Language Studies, Social Sciences and project-based learning. Our hope is that the Inside Out Centre will become a significant cultural landmark in Johannesburg. Together with the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Museum and the Joburg Contemporary Art Foundation (JCAF), it forms part of a trio of cultural centres in the central suburb of Forest Town.
