This is typical of post-independent, Namibian cultural development. 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, it 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. The goal of the artist is to share his vision, as well as show, how, through poetry, art is more easily accessible to the public, and vice-versa. Publication of such a book also supports the development of personal perceptions and that of contemporary society at large. This exhibition has been extended until 31st May in the Upper Gallery.
