!Kauru

Pretoria Art Museum, Pretoria

!Kauru provides a platform for African contemporary artists and cultural practitioners to showcase their art in five regions of Africa. The project began in 2012 with artists from the Southern African Development Community (SADC). It is scheduled to celebrate Africa Day on 25 May as well as the 50th anniversary of the African Union. !Kauru is also supported and endorsed by the Department of Arts and Culture: International Relations.

Contemporary visual artists have been drawn from Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mauritius, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Mid-career to established artists will showcase the maturity and exceptional wealth of talent to be found in the region.

Through a series of related programmes, conversation on and changing perceptions of Africa are stimulated through contemporary art by inviting the public to participate in its discourse and dialogue on cultural diversity. It will also promote continental understanding of our heritage and instill respect for our different cultural backgrounds.

(!Kauru is a word of the Khoi people of Southern Africa and means looking at oneself, out of oneself, seeing other people and things across borders.)
