Arterial Network to host a public dialogue forum & Arts Update
Peter Rorvik - Arterial
Network Secretary General joined us on the line. Arterial Network South Africa
will be hosting a public dialogue forum on the 4th of February
titled: “When do
artists go too far and when do we not go far enough?” According to the Network,
Artists have attracted harsh judgment from government –
supported by sections of the wider society - for going ‘too far.’ In 2012,
artworks such as Brett Murray’s The Spear and Ayanda Mabulu's painting Umshini
Wam, both satirising what some describe as ‘the pretensions of the ruling
elites’, caused much controversy and public debate from all sectors of
society. For more information contact
