ART CHALLENGE

…Art Challenge.
As we begin our long recovery from the social, economic, and public health impacts of COVID-19, many are asking themselves, what does a just recovery look like? What vision of the future do we want to create?
As we envision that future, art plays a vital role in reshaping our collective imagination. That’s why we are launching the just recovery art challenge, to help envision what a just recovery from COVID-19 could & should look like.
Submit your vision of a just recovery to the Just Recovery Art Challenge from the 16th of July to the 30th of August. Voting will then open for two weeks until the 14th of September. To help inspire your art, you can learn more about a just recovery at JustRecovery.co.za, where you can find podcasts, reports, webinars, and more.
