Nucleo de Arte - Arms into Art


Mozambican artists take parts of the past and turn it into international awareness by means of art. During my stay in Mozambique, I had a chance to see old AK 47s lefted after the end of civil war in 1992 and watch it welded, bent, and molded to animals and figures - symbols of change, symbols of end of war.

Hi Kathleen,

the Mozambican painter Kheto Lualuali, member of the Nucleo del Arte, has opened a new web site. If you like, take a look at it at http://www.khetolualuali.com. Enjoy!
