Where is it? Woza Moya Craft shop Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust 26 Old Main Road Hillcrest.
Join us at the Woza Moya upstairs Gallery, project of the Hillcrest AIDS centre Trust, for a celebration of vibrant colour. The exhibition made possible by funding from the National Art Council, features work by local artists and crafters.
Come and be lifted up by a swathe of colour, be surrounded by an installation of handmade wire telephone baskets and painted plates, vibrant yellows flow into blues, blue flows into green, green flows into oranges and reds and it all ends in a purple and pink fiesta. A customer remarked that this exhibition delivers instant happiness.
One of Woza Moya’s favourites is Sibusiso Duma’s hand painted bird and Cockrill plates which make a stunning wall display. Another treat are Sibusiso Maphumulo’s larger than life angels, these angels perhaps overindulged during Christmas and are an absolute delight.
Sibusiso Maphumulo’s work is highly collectable and has been collected by customers worldwide, for more information on one of the artists a short movie on him can be viewed on facebook.
