Welcome to Our Africa

 

"This is an art that I did in remembrance of how

we were raised in our African land.

It brings nice memories of how normal life

was and the connection of nature in our environment"

As a younger man, I had little idea about art and artists. However that all changed from 2009, with among other things running an offspace gallery in Vienna from 2012-2014 “!artspace191” with Petronilla HohenwARTer.

With a wide interest in artists as people with passion, when the words Africa Day came along, we pulled together a list of education projects in Africa by people with passion that are worthy of support. A few days later the idea arrived of showing African Artists in Vienna as a lead up to the show, in conjunction with Ronnie of AVYapps and others. Jomon kindly offered to make some space to show art, and this slide show is where we are now, curating artists and planning the first date!
