Phakathi Secondary pupils honour women in their lives through a photographic exhibition
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 Phakathi Secondary School in Klaarwater, Pinetown hosted a photographic exhibition on August 28 to celebrate Women's Month. The exhibition, titled Simunye Kuhluke Imilando (We are one, only our history differs), aimed to honor women in the lives of the students and promote a sense of unity. Art teacher Zanele Nsindane, who helped organize the event, described it as "healing" and "an eye opener".
Former learner Xolani Sithole, who returned to his old school to showcase his work, emphasized that the school, despite being a no-fee institution, was able to provide its students with valuable artistic experiences. The exhibition featured photographs taken by the students, capturing stories of women in their families, and even male students dressed up as women to represent their subjects.
The event was made possible through the sponsorship of the Muholi Art Institute (MA!) and its founder, celebrated Durban artist and photographer Professor Zanele Muholi.
