INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed artist GreatJoy Ndlovu has donated a headline artwork to the Institute for Healing of Memories (IHOM) to raise funds for its trauma-healing programmes.

- STAFF REPORTER

The piece will lead IHOM’s Fundraising Art Auction Dinner on November13, 2025, in Johannesburg, along with pieces donated by corporates, including MTN, among others. GreatJoy, known for his powerful depictions of resilience, compassion, and the human condition, says the headline piece that he’s working on aims to confront hidden narratives and inspire empathy.

He says: “The work of the Institute for Healing of Memories is deeply personal to me, because I believe that every person, in some way, carries wounds that need healing. My art reflects the hidden narratives we often overlook: the silent struggles, the resilience, and the hope that lives within our communities.

“By donating this piece, I am not just giving a painting, but offering a mirror where people can confront pain, see compassion and begin to imagine the possibility renewal.
