PAST EXHIBITION

Prints from South Africa

September 4, 2007—October 14, 2007

The Art Museum at Michigan State University will exhibit Prints from South Africa in the Works on Paper Gallery from September 4 through October 14, 2007. In Grahamstown, on the Eastern Cape of South Africa, artists work at a printmaking workshop sponsored by the Egazini Outreach Project, a community-based art, cultural and heritage center. In their powerful linocuts, these artists share a strong graphic sense that equalizes black and white and uses a wide range of stroke patterns. Their stories are very real and often have political implications. They tell of drought, of hope in the midst of despair, of leisure activities, women’s work, and struggles for equality and show glimpses of life as it was and as it is today.
