Contemporary Rock Art in Dry Garden



Share

Robertson, South Africa – The community based ‘Land Art Project in South Africa‘ is slowly but steadily coming off the ground with a growing number of ‘objects of the land’. The latest addition is contemporary rock art in a new Dry Garden. The project is an initiative of Soekershof; Private Mazes & Botanical Gardens in South Africa.

Landmark, 4 metres high red cactus

Talented people from ‘historically disadvantaged communities’ are invited to create sculptures and other (land) art works, using material from the land. The Tree of Growing Creativity and the giant earth sculpture of Mama Africa are widely known in art circles in Europe and USA.

New additions are a 4 metres high ‘red cactus’ entirely made of rest pieces wood which serves as a landmark and students of the Waldorf School from McGregor transformed their daily experiences and dreams into rock paintings in the new Dry Garden of Soekershof. Most of the works are based on local (story telling) folklore and African roots.

The project is not subsidised, neither state financed as many mainstream tourist attractions in South Africa.

Soekershof is not designated for mass tourism but for people who can take the time for a real personal experience. A visit to Soekershof is a day activity; best to describe as an “interactive exploration of Life in South Africa”.

It’s hugely entertaining and a bit educational as well. Visitors leave with a smile in their heart and a memento in their pocket. And people who think that a visit to a botanical garden or a maze are “boring” activities will discover that this does not apply to Soekershof.
