The Salt River Heritage Society will host a Heritage Day Community Arts Festival on Saturday, focusing on social justice.
Chairperson of the Salt River Heritage Society Dr Yusuf Lalkhen said there will be an unveiling of three art pieces at three different locations in Salt River.
“From there we will walk to the second site that will promote the history and relevance of sport in the area, and particularly the role of women in sport.“The third site will reflect our commitment as a community to act in solidarity with all oppressed and marginalised communities in the rest of the world,” said Lalkhen.
At each mural site, there will be music and entertainment, as well as stalls selling food and other goods. “In addition to its aesthetic value, we want residents to pause and reflect on the respective messages of social justice, value of sport in a community for youth development, and finally about international solidarity.
