Hon. Sam Nujoma, Governor of the Khomas Region, yesterday delivered the keynote address and officially opened the photography exhibition “Namibia – A Photographic View” at the City of Windhoek Function Hall. The exhibition forms part of the official visit to Windhoek by His Worship Christian Specht, Mayor of the City of Mannheim, Germany, and his delegation.
A joint co-production between the City of Windhoek and the City of Mannheim, realised with the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums and the National Art Gallery of Namibia, the exhibition presents Namibia through the lenses of photographers Margaret Courtney-Clarke and Rachel Ngeitokondjo Sakeus, with a focus on drought, climate change and the resilience of Namibian communities.
In his address, the Governor highlighted the Khomas Region’s unique position as the gateway to Namibia, and called for Windhoek to become a cultural destination in its own right, where creativity translates into income and opportunity for artists, the hospitality sector and residents alike.
We commend the City of Windhoek, the City of Mannheim, the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums, the National Art Gallery of Namibia and the participating photographers, and wishes the exhibition every success.
