The ongoing roving art exhibition at the Botswana Insurance Holdings Limited (BIHL) is a picturesque event, depicting the range of talent possessed by two local artists, Ditshupo Mogapi and Tshepo Phokoje.

The event is part of BIHL Group’s aim to remain committed to playing a long-term role in celebrating, preserving and growing the local arts and the culture space in Botswana, building on a strong heritage of investment. As one enters the BIHL floor three offices, there is immediate magnetism.
