KZNSA is excited to announce the theme of this year's BUZZART21 as CARE. As the world seeks to heal from the trauma of Covid-19, it has never been more important that we care for ourselves, each other, our communities and our planet.
The organisers explain the theme:
“The KZNSA invites proposals for the widest interpretation of this theme as we enter a season of gifting, generosity and support of local livelihoods. Think self-care, organic and biodegradable products, earth friendly cosmetics, small batch confectionary and sustainable design practices. It has been a time of great uncertainty for local design and craft practitioners and the festive season is a chance to recover and rebuild. We encourage submissions that reflect a global shift toward ethical consumption and meaningful gifting as acts of caring. The simplest gift is enhanced by the consciousness and care with which an item/object is designed, manufactured, packaged and finally wrapped for gifting.
“We will also curate a pre-loved collection, with attention to a circular economy aimed at eliminating waste. Donations or consignments of unwanted quality goods, previously loved art and craft, freshly laundered clothing and homeware (in working condition) are welcome.”
Email ashaw@kznsagallery.co.za for an appointment to bring in consignment stock for review; please also note that unsuitable donations will be passed on to HOLAH.
KZNSA welcomes product that is locally-produced, handmade, artisanal, one of a kind, designed with care and attention to detail. Details for delivery and drop off of stock as well as the BUZZART21 opening date will be announced shortly.
