The book is a must for all collectors, readers and supporters of Namibian Culture. It is also highly unusual, in that it is the one of the first examples in Namibia, whereby a book is published showcasing posters produced from original artworks and poetry, launched at an exhibition and poetry reading at the National Art Gallery of Namibia – providing a tangible record of such an event. Educationally, is also relevant to students and scholars in that it deals with issues of social responsibilities such as HIV and Visions for the Future. It is a mirror of society and life. The poetry is of a high standard and provides insight into each of the posters produced from original artworks exhibited. They carry a common message, relevant to all people, locally and globally.
