Thapong Artist of the Year Award (TAYA) 2016 overall winner Thato Nkawana has engaged in an initiative whereby he is mentoring orphans and disabled children at Cheshire Foundation as a way of giving back to the community.

The abstract artist won the TAYA overall winner after conceptualising the famous ‘World at night’, which was an abstract installation work comprising of a dress suspended in a mosquito net and other elements surrounding it.

The 29-year-old noted that he decided to groom the young orphans and disabled children after noticing that there is a gap that does not cater for them especially the disabled when it comes to art related studies.
