Meraki - the labour of love

Meraki is the new exhibition – a group show – that has just opened at DAOR Contemporary at Port of Cape Town.  

“Meraki, a modern Greek word, derived from the Turkish “Merak” (meaning the labour of love, to do something with pleasure), which is applied to tasks, usually creative or artistic, but can be applied to any task at all. Meraki means to do something with passion, with absolute devotion, with undivided attention”.
