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.

Culture and Resistance in South Africa
In this paper, Keorapetse Kgositsile argues that art and culture play a role in the struggle against Apartheid. Kgositsile, a poet and acclaimed writer, regards literature as being a key site of struggle. He suggests that literature "must serve the interests of the people in their fight against a culture which insists that they should be robbed". Kgositsile reflects on the contributions of literature to the struggle which he believes are both artistic and "functional" to the needs of the people.

Musicians are part of the people
In this paper, Barry Gilder argues that it is impossible for musicians to be separate from the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa. He suggests that musicians have two options; to be part of the struggle against Apartheid as "revolutionaries who make music" or as musicians who participate in the "revolution as musicians". Musicians can fight Apartheid through holding benefit concerts, creating their own record labels, organising into a collective musical organisation and boycotting the Apartheid state. These methods of resistance and artistic expression, the author argues, will all contribute to a necessary and genuinely popular and progressive musical culture.
