Keiskamma AIDS Treatment
The Keiskamma AIDS Treatment (KAT) programme brings hope and support to people living with HIV in the villages in the Keiskamma region of the Eastern Cape of South Africa |
Altarpiece Unveiling Made by the women of the Keiskamma Art Project, as a message of hope for people who are living in the midst of poverty, AIDS and other hardships. The Keiskamma Altarpiece has travelled to the USA and has visited Southwark Cathedral in London. It brings the story of AIDS and poverty in the rural South African villages of Hamburg, Bodiam and Ntilini to a much wider audience. The Keiskamma Altarpiece uses the form and themes of The Issenheim Altarpiece to depict hope and redemption in the face of the HIV epidemic. It celebrates the strength of grandmothers who bear the responsibility for the children in these times. It stands 4.15 x 6.8 meters. (13.6 x 22.3 feet). This video shows the grand opening of the altarpiece in Grahamstown, SA. |
Dune Runner
Vuyisile Funda, a local man, is inspirational for the traditional embroidery designs used by the artists of the embroidery project. When conditions are right, in the early morning, he dons a red skirt and runs intricate patterns over the sand dunes of Hamburg, but his artworks are seldom seen. As the day begins, the sun warms the sand, the wind blows, and his creations are gone forever. |
