Moving Forward: Restoration, Unity, Peace still on at Oliewenhuis Art Museum

Oliewenhuis Art Museum is commemorating Reconciliation Day with an exhibition of artworks selected from the Oliewenhuis Art Museum Permanent Collection and the Collection of the Art Bank of South Africa.

Natley Barnardo joins Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Art Beat to highlight some of the aspects of this exhibition.

All Oliewenhuis Art Museum and ArtbankSA staff members chose an artwork that personally resonates with their idea of reconciliation. Diverse artworks, expressing varied views and feelings regarding the theme, Moving Forward: Restoration, Unity and Peace, were selected, and created an exhibition that acknowledges the painful past of South Africa, but also shows how we can continue to restore and what unity and peace look like. Many of the artworks explore what we share and what brings us together as human beings. This exhibition is still on until the 4th of Feb 2024.
