Uncloaking The
Umgeni Estuary
The focus of this exhibition is on the community of plants in the Umgeni Beachwood Mangroves Estuary. It emerges from Ingrid Adams' doctoral study in Fine Arts following a Practice-Led research approach. As a resident artist of the area surrounding the estuary, she felt compelled to explore and respond to the current ecological realities of this estuary.
She explains: “The global context of environmental degradation and climate change exacerbate my concerns over pollution, rising sea levels, the influx of alien vegetation, floods. In addition, approved building developments will further compound the vulnerability of this estuary.”
Dear Mr. President -
Hear our voices
Dear Mr President - Hear our voices focuses on the development and power of young South African voices prior to and post elections. Youth are mobilizing to build their skills and agency to promote democracy, human rights, and civic education – as well as drive a more ‘hopeful’ and ‘active’ youth agenda within the political arena.
The creative content for this exhibition was developed within an extensive series of participatory workshops with Grade 12 youth in Secondary Schools, at TVET, (Technical, Vocational, Educational Training) Colleges and with youth not in education, employment or training in the townships surrounding Durban. These workshops focused on civic education, democracy, and voter education prior to the recent elections.
The KZNSA Gallery is situated at 166 Bulwer Road, Glenwood, in Durban.
