Veuve Clicquot and Magnum Photos come together to present Emotions of the Sun, inspired by the iconic Veuve Clicquot yellow, celebrating the Sun as a universal symbol of joy and optimism. This touring photographic exhibition gives carte blanche to eight Magnum photographers for a special cultural commission.
Each Magnum photographer received a creative carte blanche to explore the sun’s myriad expressions. The result is a series of images that capture the sun’s many facets: as a force of life, a spark for play, a source of connection across cultures and a radiant expression of Veuve Clicquot’s joie de vivre.
Together, the photographs form a mosaic of perspectives spanning five continents, acting as a bridge between cultures. The celebrated photographers include Steve McCurry, Cristina de Middel, Trent Parke, Alex Webb, Nanna Heitmann, Olivia Arthur, Newsha Tavakolian and South Africa’s own Lindokuhle Sobekwa.
More than a photography exhibition, Emotions of the Sun is a cultural destination. Visitors can enjoy the Sun on your Plate Café, where a seasonal menu is paired with Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, before exploring the gifting boutique, where select pieces can be personalised, making it the ultimate stop for gift givers and collectors alike.
Tickets to the Emotions of the Sun exhibition are priced at R200 via howler.co.za, which includes a glass of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label as well as access to the immersive exhibition, Sun on Your Plate Café and gifting boutique.
