Running at the KZNSA Gallery, Messages from the Soul is an exhibition of artwork by the Amasosha
Art Movement, a collective of 14 emerging young artists working in and around
Durban.
Amasosha is a Zulu word meaning 'soldiers' - people who
have patience and courage, and who work hard in unison, fighting to the end. As
such, the collective describes itself as a group of young artists, united to
form a movement that encourages local artists to work together as a unit,
growing together and helping each other develop technical and professional
skills needed in the contemporary art world.
The collective works toward a shared vision of shaping each
other in terms of ideas, sharing skills in the construction of work and
creating art that dialogues across different cultures and brings into focus
often neglected stories of society.
Featured artists are Mondli Mbhele; Major Ndlovu; Andile
Maphumulo; Sihle Mthimkhulu; Khulekani Mkhize; Mthobisi Maphumulo; Mabusi Ntuli;
Nhlakanipho Ndimande; Nhlakanipho Mkhize; Mlamuli Mkhwanazi; Thalente Khomo; Zwakele
Gazu, and Mbijane Sibisi.
This is a project of the KZNSA Social Art Programme, funded
by the National Lotteries Commission.
The KZNSA Gallery
is situated at 166 Bulwer Road,
Glenwood, in Durban.
