I popped out of the office at lunchtime today to take photos of the 100 Doors of Hope that are being displayed at Hyde Park Shopping Centre this week.

The 100 Doors of Hope is a fundraising initiative for Johannesburg Child Welfare

100 doors and a 100 people raising money for Jo’burg Child Welfare.

JCW has tasked 100 people consisting of artists, musicians, celebrities, authors, comedians, photographers, cartoonists and graphic designers to each take an old door and turn it into a piece of art.

These doors will be auctioned in September to raise much needed funds for Jo’burg Child Welfare.

Wow, I was blown away by them.  The designs are awesome, and the stories that the doors tell are just so so powerful.  I definitely have my favourites, which ones are yours?

LOVED the dress in this door by Abigail Betz

A very powerful story by Bevan and Justine Cullinan

Loved the detail around the door by Des and Dawn Lindberg


Very cool design by Evolver

One of the things I noticed right away was the way that each artist treated the door handle… and this one was the fanciest and definitely had the most detail. The back of this door by photographer Graeme Williams was also very detailed.

Just love this one by John Vlismas

Oh and you know how I love graffiti… so this door by Rasty just spoke to me

Loved the story behind this door by Senzo Shabangu

I would love to see more of the doors as they’re completed. You can follow the progress of the doors by joining the event on Facebook
