20 local artists to take part in Tulipamwe
The long-awaited annual Tulipamwe kicks off today and is set to inspire, with most of the works exhibited local creations.
The National Art Gallery of Namibia (NAGN) will be hosting Tulipamwe, an exhibition of artworks by international and Namibian artists which will be in the Foyer and Lower Gallery as from today until 14 July.
It has been 24 years since the first Tulipamwe and the spirit of togetherness still continues. The 2018 edition of the Tulipamwe has brought together 26 artists from six countries to create, learn and share with one another. This year's workshop was held in the Hardap Region, in the south of the country from 1 to 13 June, where the amazing environment serves as inspiration and motivation for the artists.
Tulipamwe International Artists Workshop is a programme under the NAGN, and is a vital component in the development of Namibian artists, creating collaborative efforts among artists and contributing to the development of Namibia's creative economy.
The artists' works are in a range of media, including wood, stone, paint, paper, clay and metal. Collaborations are actively encouraged during the Tulipamwe workshop as a means of developing individuals and their styles. The outputs of this workshop will be exhibited at the National Art Gallery of Namibia from the opening today at 18:00.
The exhibition will showcase the diversity of work created at the workshop as well as experimental works and works in progress. The workshop included many established as well as emerging southern African artists and the exhibition will reflect this range.
