Liminality is an exhibition of first-, second- and third-year student’s work in the
Department of Fine Arts at the University of the Free State (UFS). The works are from 2019 and 2020. Created during the hard lockdown of 2020, the artworks provide a glimpse of what students had to deal with and overcome during these times.
In a proposal for the exhibition, Angela de Jesus, Curator of the UFS Art Galleries, wrote: “The subtitle of the exhibition is ‘threshold, transition, transformation’ and it refers to the creative processes that students engaged with
in these adverse circumstances resulting in a wide array of artworks in both traditional and adapted mediums.”
The exhibition speaks to our shared experiences of insecurity, fragility, and discord, and to the resourcefulness and immutability of creative expression.
The virtual exhibition runs until 2 July 2021.
The exhibition is also currently available for viewing at the Johannes Stegmann Art Gallery, Sasol Library, UFS Bloemfontein Campus. Monday - Friday 09:00 - 16:00.

The Department of Anesthesiology at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently presented a free course on resuscitation for teachers. The aim was to provide them with practical experience in life support in order for them to have the knowledge and self-confidence to supply learners with life support when they are in life threatening situations where heart arrest is involved. The teachers receive training over weekends in small groups and appropriate situations such as drowning are for example being handled . The ultimate goal is to involve all the schools in Bloemfontein and the Free State. Here are, from the left: Mr Jakob Moahlodi, Dr Edwin Turton, lecturer at the UFS Department of Anesthesiology, Ms Bertie Roos, Ms Biana Meyer, and Mr Joseph Nkahle, a teacher at Navalsig Secondary School in Bloemfontein.
