Background Information to the Exhibition, Symposium and Festival of South African Arts

The document outlines the background to both the Art Toward Social Development exhibition and the Culture and Resistance Symposium. The exhibition was a culmination of two years work by South African artists who lived in Botswana. The idea came out of a number of individual exhibitions that were held by South African artists at the National Museum and Art Gallery in Gaborone. The holding of the Culture and Resistance Symposium and arts festival was developed for artists and cultural workers to meet and share different ideas. The objectives of the symposium are to expose South African cultural workers to a wide range of cultural work, to expose South African cultural workers to South African cultural developments and to produce a book on South African culture.

The author argues that a sensitivity to everyday experiences is key to realising this responsibility. The paper deals with the "role of culture in photographic communication, the formation of our [South Africa's] resistance culture, our country's uniqueness and how this affects the level of awareness of people, the relevance of technique and the outlets for committed photography".
