Kiernan Forbes Foundation Pays Tribute To AKA With An Art & Merchandise Exhibition

The Kiernan Forbes Foundation has announced a special collaboration to honour the late and legendary AKA. 

The collaboration also provides an opportunity for emerging South African artists to showcase their talent and brings an unparalleled experience for AKA's fans to enjoy.

As part of Kiernan’s upcoming birthday celebrations, from January 26th to 28th, a pop-up art and merchandise exhibition will take place at Sook Mall of Africa, featuring exclusive artwork and merchandise paying tribute to AKA.

This limited-time showcase offers a unique opportunity for the public to acquire one-of-a-kind pieces.

The Kiernan Forbes Foundation aims to make meaningful and empowering contributions to society to build upon the legacy which Kiernan Jarryd Forbes left behind. 

In particular, the foundation intends to use his platform to develop young South Africans within the music industry and broader art world. The Sook Mall of Africa exhibition represents the first project which the foundation is undertaking. Apart from the exposure during the exhibition to showcase their art, the contributing artists will benefit directly with 90% of all proceeds, with the remaining 10% going to the Kairo Forbes Trust.

Noteworthy contributors to this exceptional exhibition include GALXBOY, David Tshabalala, Mondli "The Artivist" Kunene, Thokozani, SK Original to name a few. Each contributor is to bring their unique flair to this celebration of AKA's legacy.

In another partnership with the Forbes family, AKA merchandise will be available in major retail stores across Southern Africa over the coming years, bringing AKA closer to the Megacy fanbase like never before.

This initiative aims to etch Kiernan Forbes's legacy into the fabric of South African music, fashion, and entertainment culture.
