Oliewenhuis Art Museum is a 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. 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
The exhibition continues the conversation on the overall curatorial theme around meaning making by way of visual art, exploring identity, heritage, the self, and the collective contemporary South Africa plunged into a reckoning around uncomfortable historic truths and reflecting on the future implications of the decisions made now with a special focus on the disconnect between expectations, reality and the audacity to find hope.
Don't miss the annual showcase of ArtbankSA's new acquisitions. Exploring the meaning of life and the things we value, the exhibition will feature artworks selected and purchased from the 2022 submission window.
