Human rights art exhibition
The exhibition will feature over 100 original art works including photographs
IN heeding President Jacob Zuma’s call, this year the whole country will celebrate national Human Rights Day on Monday, March 21 to portray unison and dispel the outrageous acts of racism.
As such the City of Ekurhuleni will commemorate this momentous day by exhibiting various art and photography works at the Springs Art Gallery on the corner of Fifth Street and Sixth Avenue from noon to 5pm. The works have been created by art students from Ekurhuleni’s Art Development School, Art as Healing Classes and the Photography Projects.
The exhibition will feature more than 100 original artworks, including photographs, through which artists express their emotions, views and comprehension of various situations.
“As individuals we view and interpret situations in different ways. As such it is equally important to get a view of those who are artistically talented and learn from them. Therefore we call upon all residents of Ekurhuleni to come celebrate the holiday meaningfully with us,” said Ekurhuleni spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
The programme of the day will include a Bill of Rights workshop, Craft Design & Handmade Market, Human Rights-themed Live Message Painting and a showcase of fun-filled interactive art activities including, among others, fashion, music, painting, drawing and drumming.
For exhibition details, enquiries and expressions of interest, artists can contact Thabo Sekoaila on 011-999-8726/7 or email, thabo.sekoaila@ekurhuleni.gov.za.
