In the small village of Hamburg in the Eastern Cape, a group of villagers working as the Keiskamma Art Project have created an exhibition called African Guernica. The exhibition is dominated by a massive tapestry inspired by Picasso's Guernica that he created in outrage at the bombings of innocent civilians in the little village of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. The work is on the same scale and similar colour palette to Picasso's icon. The tapestry took the people of the Hamburg over six months to create and draws on their own experiences of outrage and sadness as their friends and family die of AIDS and tuberculosis while the state ignores their plight.
