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 university hosted members of the South African Defence Review Committee who consulted on the Draft Defence Review with interested parties. Representatives from the Department of Defence and Military Veterans, the South African National Defence Force, academics, politicians and members of the public attended the public consultation on the Bloemfontein Campus.
The Defence Review Committee coordinates and facilitates a draft Defence Review Policy for the country and public consultations have been held countrywide. The committee is chaired by Mr Roelf Meyer, a former Defence Minister and chief negotiator for the National Party government during the multiparty negotiations in 1993.
