SOLIDARITY FOR SURVIVAL – Countries have borders – People Don't!
Doctors Without Borders South Africa exhibit to inspire solidarity and action in aiding forced migrants. Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders South Africa launches a dynamic and thought provoking Exhibition, titled Solidarity for Survival, on World Health Day (7 April 2011) to focus attention on the plight of thousands of people who survive displacement and migration; and come to South Africa where they face discrimination and xenophobia. 
Solidarity for Survival is an exhibition portraying the plight of African foreign nationals fleeing their home countries for South Africa and is informed by what MSF has witnessed providing emergency medical care in. The exhibit seeks to provoke debate and to inspire solidarity with people most vulnerable who struggle to access medical care and face a denial of dignity. Solidarity for Survival probes the reasons for people leaving their countries of origin, with a focus on five countries where MSF operates in sub-Saharan Africa: the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, South Sudan, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Every year, violence, the collapse of states and a disintegration of basic services force millions of people to leave their home countries to come to South Africa in the hope of surviving and finding a safer, stable and more dignified future. But coming into South Africa does not guarantee safety. Desperate people continue to face discrimination by citizens and the South African civil service when they are denied access to healthcare and other basic services – although these are rights and enshrined in the Constitution of South Africa. During outbreaks of violence MSF responds by providing medical care and bearing witness to the experiences of people in crisis – standing in solidarity with the patients our medical teams treat. This was true during May and June 2008, at the height of the xenophobic violence in Gauteng, and continues to reflect the daily reality of MSF teams working in Johannesburg where they see the regular police harassment, sexual violence, health care exclusion and lack of protection of people seeking refuge in South Africa experience. Intolerance is often linked to lack of understanding of why people flee their countries, and the absence of a coherent national response to concretely deal with the needs of millions of people relocating to South Africa. MSF has observed a discernable lack of implementation of national and regional migration and health policy instruments and the absence of a unified civil society support system to prevents, and condemns the physical and institutional violence suffered by African foreign nationals who remain extremely vulnerable in South Africa. Solidarity for Survival is an exhibition, as much as a call to action and an attempt to inspire collective responsibility. EXHIBIT DETAILS: Venue: Rampart Rooms, Constitution Hill, 1 Kotze Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg Dates: 7 April to 14 May 2011. On 27 April Solidarity for Survival will host community forums in Alexandra and Yeoville which will include commemorative mural painting sessions. As part of the exhibition MSF will also host a public debate on migration and the health needs. More information will follow. Visit www.solidarity4survival.org for more.

“Painters who Print”
An exhibition, “Painters who Print”, will be opened at the Association of Arts Pretoria by Andre Naude on Friday 25 March 2011 at 18:30 for 19:00. This is an exciting exhibition that celebrates some of the eminent artists who have worked at The Artists’ Press.
It is a well-known fact that artists who are primarily painters also tend to create the most exceptional graphic art. Drawing and a strong graphic sense are the techniques that most associate with the world of original prints. Again, in painting it is often the gesture of the mark making, the sizzling quality of the colours and subtle moods that paint, handled by an expert, can capture. However, graphic art and painting are not completely distinct from each other. The work to be shown at this exhibition reveals aspects of the alchemy of painting and graphic art.
Come and see “landscapes” through the eyes of Kim Berman and Karin Daymond, studies of the human form and its frailties in the work of Johann Louw and Robert Hodgins. Examine social issues with Penny Siopis and Judith Mason and wonder into the world of archetypes and the occasionally mythical with Deborah Bell and Colbert Mashile. Look at “women” with Pat Mautloa and André Naudé.
A walkabout will be conducted on Saturday 9 April 2011 at 11:00.
