African-inspired art for a cause
A week long first-of-its-kind project titled ‘Art Project Thanda – Star for Life 2016’ was recently held at Thanda Safari, a private game reserve located in KwaZulu-Natal. Twenty artists from around the world worked together with the AIDS awareness, education and prevention programme for school children, Star for Life.
