Yebo has an open call to all artists in Swaziland who would like to participate in their 36th art exhibition called Independence which will be at Sharma House in February 2018 in partnership with Royal Villas.
Please read the guidelines below
• Exhibition Title: Independence –
“Independence has always been inextricably linked to pride, autonomy and solidarity. In the context of Swaziland’s celebrations, independence refers to the achievement of a country to govern itself. We, as a nation, are about to celebrate 50 years of independence, of pride, of autonomy and solidarity.
But, celebrations aside, are we not leveraged though by global economic, political, cultural and religious pressures? Has Independence brought about the end of colonial control or forced it to mutate? What are the differences between dependence, independence and interdependence? We invite artists to explore these thoughts in their own creative way.”
