Contra.Online is not your average online shop. It’s a living showcase of curious, clever, and beautifully crafted things dreamt up by artists who live and work in Johannesburg (and beyond).

Here you’ll find objects that carry stories: socks stitched with attitude, t-shirts that start conversations, mouse pads that bring art to your desk, cellphone covers that double as statements, bread moulds that make tradition contemporary, bags that travel with a little more soul—and much, much more.

Every item is an artwork in disguise, designed to make the ordinary extraordinary. By shopping here, you’re not only picking up something rare and unexpected—you’re directly supporting the artists who made it.

Contra.Online is where creativity spills off the canvas and into everyday life.

Contra.Joburg

It all begins with an idea, an idea that you speak to people about. An idea that brings people together. An idea where we all can benefit. In a practical sense, Contra.Joburg is a two day immersive art and city experience that allows the public to meet with artists and to experience their working environments. That event takes place annually in August.
