Batswana art students exhibit in Malaysia

According to the organisers, the event is being held to exhibit the skills and talents of artists from various fields and also to promote Botswana tourism, crafts and arts through artworks display, arts installations and other activities performed prior to the opening of the show.  One of the organisers said in an e-mail to Arts & Culturethat incorporating cultural displays, installations, cultural performance and exhibition of artworks has given the young artists more experience and international exposure.

According to David, the theme for the exhibition, "Tradition" was chosen in order to do an exhilarating art exhibition so that the artworks can portray the nature, life and cultural background of the artists. The artworks themselves depict the real culture and life in Botswana where they come from.  Following are the profiles of the students participating in the exhibition.
