“Beauty of Minstrels” exhibition featuring 60 photographs by Laurence Savary opens on Saturday 8 June at Cape Baptist charity Hall. It portrays 20 minstrel teams during the jan-feb 2013 competitions at Athlone stadium. The artist reveals 15 dimensions of beauty, from the primary beauty (Singing, Playing music, Dancing, Marching, Formations, and Winning) to the secondary beauty from activities underpinning the minstrel process, (eg Face beautifying, Cape vision, Integrating all ages and handicapped people, Leading, Supporting, Celebrating).
The project combines artist Laurence Savary, with sponsors Cape Town Minstrel Carnival Association and minstrel groups Pennsylvanians, Juvie Boys, Orient, District Six, and Fabulous Star Sprangles, as well as Deckle Edge ORMS print Lab.
The official opening takes place at Cape Baptist Saturday 8 June 2-5pm with music from Cape minstrel groups who will perform on the Stage of Cape Baptist charity hall. The exhibition will stay open thereafter Tue-Thu 9.30am – 4pm at the charity hall, 23 Kloof street, where the church has a coffee shop.
