Goolam Saber

"Goolam Saber Is a multifaceted visual artist from, Johannesburg, South Africa. His art practice is rooted within marginalized communities and stems from his upbringing in Apartheid South Africa.  The pieces designed here are titled: Peace and Resistance and serve as tribute to those who have to endure hardships for their right to exist and the peace we hope to achieve as human beings. Goolam has fought for and continues to fight for the next generation’s ability to flourish in a peaceful, just world.

Working with the students from ACP High School was a real treat for Goolam. Exploring so many cool ideas inspired him to push the design to the next level while staying true to his style.

The drawings are embellished with henna patterns and are a cultural reference to his ethnicity and a nod to the journey his ancestors had to endure during indentureship and immigrants alike, serving as a relatable cultural reference to the 12,456 Asian Indians living in the Chandler area. Goolam Saber appreciates the opportunity to represent a marginalized group through his artworks."
