A group of 15 local teachers, currently studying visual art at various universities in South Africa, are showcasing their artworks at the Thapong Art Centre Gallery in Gaborone. The exhibition opened its doors to the public on August 5 and will end August 19.

The exhibits include drawing, painting, sculpture, graphic design, video and ceramics.  Their expert handling of the materials and the conceptual interpretations, especially in ceramics works, which stand out, are perhaps a strong testimony of art produced in a learning environment. 

The group comprises of Thapong Artist of the Year Award (TAYA) 2014 winner, Obed Mokhuhlani, Kutlo Tumedi, Othusitse Ketshabang, Souza Malebo, Unami Maigwa, Selebogo Suping, Danny Moatlhodi, Lettah Mantswe, Gofaone Kebonyekgosi, Ontwetse Gaotsenelelwe, just to mention a few. Francis Bacon, a well known British artist once remarked that; ‘The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery’.
