THE OPEN AFRICA INITIATIVE





(“The Returning Hunter” is one of the works on show)
Join the Imbizo Gallery in Umhlanga on September 8, 2017, as it celebrates African Art and Culture.

Imbizo Gallery has partnered with the Global Shapers Community Durban Hub to host and showcase the best of South African art to the rest of Africa. The Event will be live-streamed to an eager audience across the continent.

This showcase is the inaugural launch of the Open Africa Initiative, a journey that will take place between 30 African cities seeking for greater African economic and cultural integration.

The journey also features the collection and documenting of local cultural ornaments and objects into Imbizo’s digital cultural archive, USizwe. The aim is to promote the African artisan and SME as well as produce a unique digital archive that is symbolic of a diverse but integrated continent. Imbizo Gallery is the main partner and will curate its Digital Cultural Archive for the continent.
The event takes place on September 8, 2017, at 18h00 for 18h30 at the Imbizo Gallery, Entrance 2, Shop 25&26, The Pearls Mall, Lagoon Drive in Umhlanga. Wine and snacks will be provided.
