About this audio guide
This guide to Keyes Art Mile in Johannesburg follows Anton Taljaard, an investment banker turned property developer with a strange idea for a quiet Rosebank street, and the years his plans spent stalled in bureaucratic limbo. It traces the neighborhood's older anchor, the Everard Read Gallery, Africa's oldest commercial art gallery since 1913, and the 2016 arrival of the Trumpet building beside the fin-topped Circa gallery. Look up at Circa's metal fins jutting into the sky as you walk the street.
