Globacom, national telecommunications operator and sponsor of CNN African Voices, says this week’s edition of the programme is dedicated to outstanding African talents who are using photography and painting to create beauty.

Last week’s edition had featured performing arts with South African ballerina, Shannon Glover, Mozambican singer, Deltino Guerreiro, and Ugandan comedian,Joseph Opio.

CNN International notes that fine artists have demonstrated that a blank canvas is just the start of a grand masterpiece. “Whether it is capturing the personality of a person through photographs or adorning alleyways with thought provoking imagery, they are using their skills to create beauty”, CNN says of the artistes being featured.

The three guests that will be on the programme include a popular Senegalese photographer who is said to draw inspiration from her beachside town to create snapshots that have been exhibited in several cities around the world.

From Senegal, the searchlight moves to Cape Town, South Africa, to reveal a world-renowned artist “who uses everything from gallery walls to street murals as a means of self-expression”. He talks to viewers about his passion for painting and how it all started.

The third guest is Rwandan photographer who CNN says is using his work to show the rapid change happening in the heart of the country’s capital city, Kigali.

To find out who these artists are and hear their inspirational stories, Globacom urged viewers to tune in to this week’s exciting edition of African Voices at 10.30 a.m. on Friday.
