#JustRecoveryArt Challenge: Winners Announcement

Winners of the #JustRecoveryArt Challenge! The world has witnessed the power of art in difficult times. Creative expression can not only help us cope with the emotional and mental toll of crises, but it can also push the gears of change into motion.

Art is a key way we can build connections, engage people, tell our story, and demand change. Even if many of us cannot leave our homes, we can still create powerful art together.  That’s why we had launched an art competition to imagine what a just recovery from COVID-19 could and should look like.

All of the contestants who entered the competition presented creative ways of what a #justrecovery from covid19 could look like for South Africa. Each of the competitors deserves a huge applause!
