APRIL 6, 2018 – The exemplary performance of two artists and one photographer who typified the current push by Africans who were taking their passions to new levels and creating sundry vibrant portfolios across several media is the thematic concern of this week’s edition of CNN African Voices sponsored by Globacom, the grandmasters of data.
The guests on the programme include Jo’burger, Tumelo Mosaka and Khatoum, Sudan-based Gala Yousif who would be joined by Mauritius iconic photographer, Paul Choy.
The curtain raiser would be Paul Choy, who would afford viewers the opportunity of seeing the island of Mauritius through a photographer’s eyes as he captures the daily life of residents.
“I never planned on becoming a photographer. It happened completely by accident. Ever since I was a small child, I always wanted to be an explorer, enjoying nothing better than just discovering something new. But what use is knowledge unless it is shared?”Paul queried.
The artist, photographer and writer well known for his annotated pictures with pithy titles explained that he started carrying cameras everywhere in order to capture the stories and immortalise images of people and places visited.
Tumelo Mosaka, world-renowned curator, who exhibited around the world, is the second guest on the programme and he would deploy his skills to highlight contemporary African art.
The South African is famous for exploring global and transnational artistic productions especially from Africa, the Caribbeans and North America using themes such as racial injustice, migration and identity.
The 32-year-old Galal Yousif, the last guest, is expected to speak on arts, sculpture and painting. Whilst speaking on her passion, the Arts graduate of Sudan University enthused, “I draw to feel that I am doing a little change in my life. Even, if it is just a bit.”
