This Issue of Hope | David Krut & Diego Masera in Conversation About HOPE/Against the Grammar of Violence


Welcome back!

David Krut Podcast is pleased to return with a conversation between David Krut and one of our latest collaborating artists, Diego Masera.

In this podcast the two discuss Masera’s past, present practice and latest exhibition HOPE/Against the Grammar of Violence, opening on the 25th of July at David Krut Arts located at 151 Jan Smuts Avenue.

Diego Masera is a former diplomat and cultural interlocutor whose work explores international exchange, social dialogue, and contemporary cultural production. Drawing on his background in international development, environmental policy, and work with communities affected by inequality and climate crisis, Masera approaches art as a form of knowledge capable of expressing what political and institutional language often cannot.

In 2026, Masera and David Krut had a chance meeting where they found themselves discussing the artist’s practice and his installation, Home – ikhaya, NIROX sculpture park. This encounter resulted in David extending and invitiation towards Masera to come into the workshop and explore printmaking. In March of that year, Masera began his collaboration with Roxy Kaczmarek, working on a body of monotypes and other works of paper.
