CROSSING BORDERS

​

The Crossing Borders exhibition was initially conceptualised for the Sanaa Africa Festival 2016 and sponsored by the MTN Foundation. In alignment with Sanaa Africa’s strategic objectives, artists were chosen who display their unique “Africanness” by creating and sharing their own indigenous traditions, knowledge and talents.

 

The artists are from a wide spectrum of languages and cultures – often exploring not just their own cultures and traditions, but also those of others. Artists from other Southern African countries were also invited to display. They all use a variety of art media to express their views and opinions on being African and celebrating this – regardless of race, age or gender.
