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 South AfricanHockey Association named the Kovsie hockey striker, Izelle Lategan, as the U/21 women’s hockey player of the year.
Lategan, who matriculated from Paarl Gimnasium last year, already made her international debut for the SA U/16 squad against Argentina in 2010. She is currently a first-year BA Human Movement Science student at the university.
On provincial level she represented both the Free State women’s squad and the U/21 women’s side this year. She also captained the SA U/21 women’s hockey team and was called up to the women’s Protea side in 2013.
Her goal still remains to be part of the SA Hockey team for the 2016 Olympic Games.
