NEWS IN SHORT

The ‘Healing Hands’ exhibition opened on Thursday at Bellhaus Atelier and Galerie in Windhoek. The exhibition, featuring the works of Kudzanai Katerere and Marelize van Staden, showcases an evocative blend of printmaking and sculpting, chronicling the artists’ personal quests for healing and resonating with the universal human experience. Gallery owner Andrea Behnsen, speaking at the event, encapsulated the exhibition’s ethos: “In creating, we find the power to heal and reconnect with love.” The exhibition can be viewed Monday through Friday from 09:00 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 17:30, and on Saturday from 09:00 to 12:30.

The exhibition marks a significant moment for Van Staden, a new face on the Namibian art scene. Following a devastating personal loss, Van Staden’s healing process found its voice through crafting lino prints, initially in black and white, later enriched with delicate gold leaf inserts. Katerere’s contributions draw from his rich background in sculpting to convey stories of endurance and spiritual renewal. - MICHAEL KAYUNDE
