WINDHOEK -The Goethe Centre will be hosting two art competitions for artists as well as school learners on Saturday as part of its programme “Awareness through Art” to promote awareness on different social issues through art.
The competitions, one themed “Annual Stop-Intimate Partner Homicide Killing” dance championship, and the other Gender-Based-Violence Schools Art Competition aim to promote awareness on Gender-Based-Violence (GBV), and to give artists a stage for their artistic ideas as well as make participants and audience alike think about how to make a change and to be critical thinkers. Participants who will be taking part in the ‘Annual Stop-Intimate Partner Homicide Killings dance championship powered by Stanley Mareka and his equipped dance academy will present their ideas on how to stop intimate partner homicides in a dance-drama. Participants taking part in the Gender-Based-Violence Schools Art Competition organised by the Goethe Centre in cooperation with The Paradigm Shift Movement will present their ideas in various artistic ways such as poem, play, comic, photo-story, short movie, dance and painting.
The best teams will receive trophies and some prize money based on best overall performance, best idea and best portrait of the GBV situation. The event will start at 14h00 at the Goethe Centre (1-5 Fidel Castro Street) and entrance is free.
Choreographer and Dancer Stanley Mareka is one of the organisers of the ‘Annual Stop-Intimate Partner Homicide Killing’ dance championship taking place at the Goethe Centre on Saturday.
