Who is the person/s you are dealing with in SA to source the material for your exhibition? As freelance arts writer and photographer, I should like to become involved in this exiting project.

Such a concentration of authentic ingenuity and entrepreneurial focus by so many in a sincere and profound effort towards personal progress. This artistic pragmatism is colored by the pervasive lens of a western value system. Operating from a vantage point which is steeped in tradition turned current, these expressions mark a value with different grounding and possess unique and alchemical qualities. Looking forward to the discussion. Having just returned from Ghana where I was a visiting artist, I find the questions being asked in conjunction with this project engaging and highly relevant.
