Gallery Pangolin is delighted to host this fund-raising exhibition on behalf of the Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation. The exhibition celebrates the work of the Foundation in encouraging cultural and educational exchanges between artists in Africa and the UK.
The Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation is a registered charity set up in 2004 by the directors of Pangolin Editions and Parabola Land Ltd. with the aim of enabling cultural and educational exchanges between artists in Africa and the UK. It funds residencies and workshops and provides the infrastructure, facilities and training needed to meet its objectives.
‘Forging Links’ includes works donated to RSF by Anthony Abrahams, Hamish Black, Jon Buck, Lynn Chadwick, Michael Cooper, Geoffrey Dashwood, Sue Freeborough and Antony Gormley, a series of stunning photographs by Steve Russell and a selection of Clan Totems and other bronzes cast at Rwenzori Founders Art Centre in Western Uganda.
A major project supported by the Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation, the Rwenzori Art Centre lies eleven kilometres north of Kasese in the foothills of Uganda’s impressive Mountains of the Moon. See www.rwenzorifounders.com for more details.
