KZNSA Members Exhibition

The KZNSA Art Gallery members exhibition starts today. The time has not been announced but previously it started at 6pm.

Address:166 Bulwer Road, Glenwood, Durban

The theme for this year is Grass Roots, and this is what the gallery said about it:

"Beyond the obvious and typical meaning of ‘Grassroots’, namely the below ground aspect of one of the most varied and tenacious of plant species, lies a more nuanced and ‘social’ phrase that has come to mean ‘popular’ or ‘of the people’. In South Africa this has an added socio-political connotation which refers directly to democratic principles that recognise the power and value of governance ‘by and for the people’. ‘Grassroots movements imply communities acting at a local level by supporting common concerns. Members are encouraged to explore the richness of this theme and its layering of meanings. A fitting theme in the 20th year of our countries democracy."

I'm so happy that I got to submit my piece in time! I will post a pic of it here later this week, in respect of the exhibitions opening tonight.
