Second Life Goods Store het op 1 April 2019 sy deure in die Gerrit Worst kerksaal van die NG Moederge- meente in Beyers Naudestraat 79, geopen. Die saal is langs die publieke swembad in die stad. Die doel van die winkel is om vir mense die kans te gee om op ‘n waardige manier tweedehandse klere uit te soek en dit teen ‘n fraksie van die prys van nuwe klere te koop. Die winkel bied ook die geleentheid aan mense wat hulle kaste uitpak, om met vreugde hulle klere, kombuiswa- re en ander goedere te skenk. Die tweedehandse goedere-projek is ‘n gemeenskapsprojek wat ontstaan het saam met ‘n hele paar rolspelers, waarvan die Sakekamer en ‘n paar gemeentes ‘n belangrike rol gespeel het. Die projek het ook werk verskaf aan mense wat werkloos was. “Dit is vir ons ‘n vreugde en groot beloning as mense uitstap en ons kom bedank vir die voorreg om op so Afgesien van klere, is daar ‘n waardige manier klere te kon ook talle ander interessante koop,” noem Janneman van Wyk, die tweedehandse items te bestuurder van Second Life. koop.

Die kunswerke van Elna Venter, Marna de Wet en Jean Lampen word heel gepas op Vrouedag, Sondag, 9 Augustus vir die eerste keer aan die publiek bekend gestel. Die skakel na die uitstal- ling se aanlyn katalogus sal teen 12:00 op die sosiale mediaplat- forms van die NWU Galery gedeel word. Elna Venter is die aanvanklike inspirasie agter dié uitstalling. As kunstenaar werk sy graag met gevonde objekte wat sy in ‘n collage saamstel.

Dit was ‘n Hol- landse boek met godsdienstige leerstellings. Die rugkant was met die hand gewerk en die boek het ‘n gespe en ou knoop gehad wat dit toegebind het. Ek het dadelik die mooiste boeke uitgesoek, want ek het geweet ek sal dit weer in ‘n kunsprojek kan gebruik,” vertel Elna. Sy het toe Marna en Jean genader en hulle was gretig om saam te werk. Met dié uitstalling lewer die drie kunstenaars kommentaar oor boeke wat lankal nie meer as die heiligdom van kennis beskou word nie. Inligting word deesdae binne sekondes met net die druk van ‘n knoppie versamel.
