Thursday, April 06, 2017

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.
