A fundraiser for the Phansi Ubuntu Art Museum will take place on June 29,
2019.
Durban architect Paul Mikula founded the Phansi Ubuntu Art Museum in
2005, in the former home of Esther Roberts, one of Durban’s iconic Freedom
Fighters and Social Anthropologists.
The house and the outbuildings have been the nurturing ground of many
artists and architects who went on to contribute significantly to the cultural
tapestry of South Africa. This collection is now recognised as a national asset
and is visited by thousands annually.
KZN based artists were invited to re-interpret, in a medium of their
choice, the Phansi Museum space. The final artworks will be sold in an effort
to raise funds for the Museum, allowing people to go home with something
created locally in support of Phansi's mission to preserve Indigenous artifacts
and knowledge.
