It was a pleasure to have had all who came last night to the Opening of Laurent Valera and Dalila Dalléas Bouzar exhibition at Alliance Française, Johannesburg. The Southern African Foundation of Contemporary Art was born out of the passion of the arts so to have had shared it with you is a gift in an of itself.
The exhibition as whole explores the cross-pollination of which SAFFCA is invested in with regards to our residency program. A residency program of which could not have been possible if it were not for the community aspect which contributes largely to our network. So we thank the communities of people who allowed and make the residencies possible for the artists and more especially the parties highlighted below whom without all of this would not have been possible.
