The Tatham Art Gallery in Pietermaritzburg will host the exhibition titled Killer Pandemic: Covid-19" opening online on August 29 at 11h00 at the Schreiner Gallery.
This exhibition is based on the current COVID-19 pandemic which has affected every single one of our lives since March 2020. Dr Zakhele Moses Hlatshwayo was inspired to document how this killer pandemic has changed our everyday lives.
This illustrative exhibition explores the dramatic effect of this invisible air-borne virus, from the Government-enforced national Lockdown, to health protocols which are designed to protect us from contracting this deadly virus.
Every citizen has had to learn a new way of existing and we have had to unlearn the ways we used to interact with each other, in order to avoid contracting the virus.
Dr Hlatshwayo will present a workshop on the effectivity and power of using cartoon drawings to convey messages about our daily life situations, between September 15 and 17, 2021.
The first workshop, aimed primarily at Primary school teachers, will take place over two days, on September 15 and 16 between 12h30 and 15h30. Participants will be shown how illustrations can be used as an effective teaching aid in Arts and Culture.
