Thapong hosts COVID-19 exhibition

One of the artists responsible for organising the exhibition, Kate Kwati told Arts & Culture in an interview that as Thapong they expect their members who have been in lockdown to continue producing artworks inspired by the pandemic. Kwati also said as social commentators, artists through their craft could make a difference in society.

“Art on its own has healing powers. It is therapeutic. Art is educative and it can take one’s mind off extreme mental and fatal thoughts and make one appreciates the unimaginable. Artists’ work through inspiration from what is happening around them.
