After almost three years, celebrated San artists affiliated to the Kuru Art Project in D'Kar, will return to Gaborone to showcase their artworks at the Botswanacraft Gallery in about two weeks.

Themed "Life Circles," the exhibition will feature the works of renowned artists Coex'ae Bob, Cg'ose Ntc›x'o, Thamae Kaashe, Gamnqoa Kukama, Xgaiga Qomatc‹, Nxabe Tase, Qhaqhoo Xare, Qg›cgae (Sara) Cao, Cgoma Simon, Jan John, Kg'akg'am Tshabu and Xaga Tcuixgao.  "Life Circles" - an exhibition of paintings and graphic art - opens on November 24 (evening) and will run until December 3.  "It is almost three years since the work of these artists has been shown in Gaborone.  The last time was in 2007 with the 21st anniversary of the Kuru Family of Organisations at the National Museum.  That exhibition will be well remembered by those who attended it.

This time, although on a smaller scale, the exhibition will nevertheless be just as impressive," Maude Brown of the Kuru Art Project said.  The exhibition will also showcase the works of one of the newcomers to the Kuru Art Project, Ncaote Kase, wife of the late Thamae Setshogo, who joined the project this year, with her work described as amazingly of high standards.  The exhibition will in a way pay tribute to two departed artists, Setshogo and Dada Qgam, both of whom were well-known and favoured artists worldwide, by showing their last lino cuts.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
