CARNEGIE ART GALLERY
EVENTS AND EXHIBITIONS
A glimpse into some of the events and the exhibitions organised by the Gallery

 

In addition to exhibitions of our own collection and those of local artists we regularly hold temporary exhibitions, on loan from other galleries. These cover important issues such as “identity”, “human rights” and “aids awareness”, which present multiple perspectives of cultural heritage.

ISIPHETHU EXHIBITION: 3-21 August 2004.
This exhibition consisted of 40 beautiful embroidered and appliquéd fabrics made by women of the Isiphethu Group.
Isiphethu began in l999 when a group of women came together to sew a wall hanging for a Woman’s Day project organised by the Gallery. The project inspired the women to continue creating these unique pieces.

Each woman creates her own design, chooses her own subject, decides on the colours and creates pictures in a distinctive and individual style. All the embroideries tell stores, some are events in the lives of the women, others are legends and historical incidents and some reflect modern day living.
