Downs (J.) THE KEISKAMMA ART PROJECT,
48 pp., oblong 4to., colour illus., paperback, Peddie, 2008. R160
The Keiskamma Art Project, located in Hamburg, a small village on the Keiskamma River in the Eastern Cape, was initiated by Carol Hofmeyr in 2000. It aimed to teach art to women of the village and to provide them with income-generating skills. Today over one hundred woman artists from Hamburg and the surrounding rural villages produce embroidered, beaded and appliquéd handbags, cushion covers, quilts, linen and tapestries. They have also produced a number of large artworks. The 126 metre Keiskamma Tapestry, which records the history of the Eastern Cape, now hangs permanently in the Parliament Building in Cape Town. The 4 metre by 6.8 metre Keiskamma Altarpiece, depicting the tragedy of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, toured North America and the UK from 2008-2008.
