In South Africa

We are excited to present a new extension of The Art of Living Exhibition at Benguela Galleries Hermanus; the Seascapes exhibition. This art exhibition that dives into the depths of the ocean and showcases the breathtaking beauty of the underwater world.   

Creativity meets conservation in the Seascapes Art Exhibition at Benguela Galleries. As a WWF Conservation Champion, the Benguela Art Gallery is honoured to be hosting an exhibition that sheds light on the environment and ocean sustainability.  

The title of the exhibition “Seascapes” is derived from a phrase by the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi: “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are an ocean in every drop,” which speaks to the abundance of water in the world, simultaneously alongside the potential of abundance within everyone.
