"Grounded" — A42 House, Johannesburg · 15 January 2026 – 31 July 2026
A42 House's inaugural, co-created exhibition, inviting young people in Johannesburg to define, explore and reclaim what home and belonging mean in a place shaped by displacement, segregation, and layered histories.
The Grounded exhibition includes Common Ground, a 'therapy' game that prompts participants to reflect on themes of Inheritance, Healing, Accountability, Home, and Being Grounded. Here are some responses to the prompt for accountability. We asked you to WRITE a letter to someone you may have made feel unwelcome. Acknowledge how you may have harmed them and reflect on how you could try to repair the harm?
We asked our community to contribute objects and stories that answer the question — "what makes you grounded?". Here is a selection of your stories.
