Pop-Cultured

I recently had the honour of attending the opening of the Diffusion or Fusion exhibition, which was held at Galerie Noko on 27 June 2017. The pieces on display were accurate observations of today's society. The images ranged from political to domestic statements. The experience opened my eyes to the wonderful world of art. Prior to attending the opening of this specific exhibition, I had been to a few exhibitions, but this encounter with the art world left a lasting impression which would stay with me for a very long time. The reason I say attending the exhibition influenced my point of view is because it re-introduced me to the world of the creative. The amount of time and effort that creatives put in their work is proof of their passion for their craft. We should all learn to appreciate and motivate the creatives that are amongst us, as this would lead to a better society than the one that we currently live in. I strongly urge you to attend art exhibitio...

The next installment of the Bay Fashion Sunday event will be held on 25 June 2017. The venue will be the Roof Garden Bar.  The Bay Fashion Sundays are a build up to the upcoming Mandela Bay Fashion Week which will be held 12 October 2017 at The Tramways Building. The event will also be providing platforms for upcoming designers and models that aim to be a part of Mandela Bay Fashion Week.

The following weeks are set to be quite busy!  I hope to see you at one of the featured events.

The exhibition is titled Salvage because the showcased pieces will be objects that have been recycled and re-imagined into art pieces. According to a statement from the gallery, " These individual pieces are stripped of their original purpose and are reused to create a whole new piece that articulates new ideas. The new pieces unveil their elevation from junk status into a reinterpretation that could defy ideas of purity, being clean; or uphold the damaged, impaired and broken". The exhibition runs until 8 July 2017. The ARTEC Gallery is located at 36 Bird Street, Central, 6001 Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape.
