“Art is the capacity to retain memory, not as a fetish, but part of
the arsenal to counter ignorance and greed.
It is the commitment to fusing landscapes, crossing borders,
mixing colours, reading the surface of rivers, blaspheming the rigidity
of the canon and listening to the stammering of the sky.
It is the means employed by the few trailblazers in society
that exhorts people to take steps to break the cycle.
It is to make new earth rise.”
