#OFMArtBeat – Art Bank SA presents "In Stranger Times"─── 08:48 Thu, 28 Apr 2022
Mid-Morning Magic’s Yolanda Maartens chats to Nonto Msomi, Project Manager at the Art Bank of South Africa, about their new exhibition titled “In Stranger Times” taking place at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum in Bloemfontein.
Listen to their conversation below:
Seventy unique works, selected from the 138 artworks acquired by the ArtBankSA in 2021, reflect the artists' visions and our society, embracing the everyday South Africa in a world in crisis. With the many threats to the future of humanity such a global pandemic, anthropogenic climate change, and the developments in technology, "In Stranger Times" explores what constitutes life; biophilic and human, the relationship between individuals and technologies, the connection between bodies and the earth.
