The exhibition presents powerful artistic voices from across the African continent. Many of these voices are critical, sometimes in an overt, sometimes in a subtle way, sometimes humorous, sometimes standing as an indictment. Some of the works may raise awareness and some may simply be poetic statements.
The Goethe-Institute and the Heinrich Böll Foundation have partnered to commission "DON’T/PANIC" as a contribution to the summit by adding a unique African artistic perspective to the discussion.
Gabi Ngcobo concludes "DON’T/PANIC is not a platform to provide answers but rather one in which a series of questions, speculations, proposals and processes are assembled to create a space to sharpen reflection and encourage resistance."
The exhibition runs from 23.11.2011 to 19.02.2012 at the Durban Art Gallery, 2nd Floor, City Hall, Smith Street, Durban.
