SACS (SPACE OF CONTEMPORARY-EXPERIMENTAL ART)
The Faces of Africa
International project of postal-and-electronic mail Art SACS / Space of Contemporary-Experimental Art of Quiliano, together with the Cooperation Office of the
Province of Savona is organising a postal-and-electronic mail art called ‘The Faces of Africa’. Through this artistic event the Municipality of Quiliano intends to support the international-health-cooperation project “Mama ti ngo” aiming to patronize maternity in the Central African Republic, by creating a system of mutual aid among women during their pregnancy. “Mama ti ngo” is furthermore supported by the non-profit organization “Savona nel cuore dell’Africa” / Savona in the Heart of Africa (www.savonanelcuoredellafrica.org). The Central African Republic, despite being rich in resources, has been constantly needing and benefiting by “Savona nel cuore dell’Africa” ‘s action since it’s being exploited by the foreign economic Powers and therefore suffering poverty and
violence.
The theme ‘The Faces of Africa’ suggets the Artists to think on the manifold features of a wonderful Continent with its extraordinary, strong and terrible nature, with its refined civilizations and with its wild, exploited environment and the extreme frailty of its lives.
All the works of art will be published on www.sacsarte.net and approximately in August 2010 an exhibition will be set up within the SACS project in Quiliano. Later on, the exhibition will be moved to other places / Minucipalities which will be joining the SACS project. You will be definitely keep up-to-date on the definitive schedule.
Please be informed that all the works sent will not be given back and the Municipality of Quiliano will own them. Thank you and please pass this message to everyone who can be interested in joining us!!
