The National Arts Council of South Africa and the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA) will host the 4th World Summit on Arts and Culture. The Summit will incorporate South Africa's Heritage Day on September 24, and throughout the week delegates will have the opportunity to attend performances at Arts Alive - Joburg's annual art and culture festival.

The UJ Art Gallery will present an art exhibition with new works by Majak Bredell, entitled ALTER IMAGES II. 

Living in New York between 1981 and 2004, Bredell longed for Africa, imaging the continent as a great dark mother.  She says that her latest work is informed by this African mother, along with her sisters, the Black Madonnas of Europe, with their deep European and ancient Middle Eastern roots.
