OPENING OF ‘ESWATINI NOW’ A SUCCESS!

MBABANE - Art is another form of expression.

Hundreds of art lovers braved the freezing weather last Saturday to attend the opening of the Eswatini NOW Art Exhibition in Mbabane. There were art performances by modern dance artist Seipati Jonga, musician and artist Ralph Smith and conceptual artist Khulekani Msweli, as well. Visitors were all impressed with the old warehouse venue, finding it to be perfect for an alternative art exhibition! Thirty artists are presenting diverse works on the theme of ‘Artists exploring their own vision of Swaziland opening our eyes to alternative realities’. There are paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures and installations on display.

Yebo Art Gallery’s Curator Aleta Armstrong said; “We are all very pleased with the turn-out for the opening and loving the positive feedback about this interesting venue and show.
“I’d like to thank the 30 artists who participated in the exhibition; their work is thought-provoking and wonderful. Also pleased with the sales of selected works and looking forward to more during the week, as it is important to support our talented artists.” The exhibition is open everyday this week, and will end on Sunday at 5pm. There will be other art performances again this Saturday at noon. Armstrong further invited  the public to view the rest of the exhibition. “It’s the last one Yebo will be having in Eswatini for a while as our focus for 2019 will be on international markets and the Joburg Art Fair, ”she said. The exhibition venue is a warehouse on Zwide Street in Mbabane, around the corner from The Theatre Club, opposite CTA. Entry is free and is open from 10am to 5pm.
