We went to the National Gallery in Cape Town!



Last Wednesday, It was a special day for Ukonwaba Photo Club and Art Class of Project Playground.

We went to visit the National Gallery in Cape Town. It was the first visit for the teens. They felt very very happy! Really, wonderful.

Our guide, Wouter, left the teens very confortable. After an introductory explanation about paintings of township in the first gallery, Wouter invited the teens to explore the space, moving aroung the National Gallery. They felt at home! It was amazing!

Some pictures taken by them in this particular moment:


This space is all mine!


Jumping of happiness!!


After this overflowing moment of joy, Wouter walked around the Gallery explaining to the teens the exhibitions Louis Khehla Maqhubela: retrospective 1960-2010, and Borders from Bamako Photographic Biennale 2009.
