Thapong hosts TAYA 2010 exhibition

As mentioned elsewhere in Arts & Culture, this year, the top prize was scooped by photographer, Donald Moilwe, while second prize went to Ditshupo Mogapi and the third prize was snatched by Olemogeng Maaramele.

There is no doubt that Moilwe, who holds BEd (Art) from the University of Newcastle, Australia, deserved the prize as his three photo paper gloss pieces namely Mapakiwa, Mapakiwa Cooking and Infusion are simply breathtaking.
Perhaps, the judges were charmed by Mapakiwa because it graces the cover of this year's TAYA catalogue, but this writer found Infusion more enchanting and pleasing to behold. According to his short biography, Moilwe is fascinated by how photography media works where magical combination of light and media forms an image.
