The opening remarks of Art Towards Social Development Exhibition were delivered by Thami Mnyele on 9 June 1982. He gave an idea of the structure of the exhibition; a collection of paintings, sculptures and photographs would be displayed. The second part will be a symposium/festival held on the 5 July to the 9 July 1982. He also mentioned that symposium/festival would be dealing with literature and performing arts such as music, film, theatre and dance. This exhibition is a step towards being hopeful and practical about creating an alternative for artists in South Africa. The main question posed at the exhibition is: how to cultural workers and artists partake in the struggle for national liberation and self determination?
