Empowering young artists: A photographic celebration of Women's Month
Durban artist and art teacher Zanele Nsindane advocates for parental support of children's artistic pursuits through a photographic exhibition at Phakathi Secondary School, celebrating Women's Month and the role of women in families and communities.
The Durban-based artist and art teacher, Zanele Nsindane, is organizing a photographic exhibition titled "Empowering young artists: A photographic celebration of Women's Month" to be held at Phakathi Secondary School in Klaarwater, Pinetown. The exhibition aims to highlight the role of women in families and communities and is part of Women's Month celebrations.
Nsindane emphasizes the importance of parental support for children pursuing artistic careers, as many parents are not aware of the value and potential of art as a profession. The exhibition is a result of the Photo XP program run by the Muholi Art Institute, founded by renowned artist Professor Zanele Muholi. Learners were tasked with capturing images of women in their lives and communities, with some even representing themselves as models.
The success of the exhibition can be attributed to the efforts of former student Xolani Sithole, who played a leading role in organizing the event and providing photographic training to the students.
