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 of the Free State (UFS) has formed a partnership with the Lebone Land Care Centre, a local non-governmental organisation taking care of HIV/Aids orphans. The partnership was formalised during the recent HIV/Aids event hosted by the Chief Directorate: Community Service at the UFS in partnership with the Life Skills HIV and Aids Unit of the Free State Department of Education. This was the biggest HIV/Aids focus event in the history of the university, which culminated with the handing over of a R10 000 cheque to the Lebone Land Care Centre. Pictured is the Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the UFS, Prof Frederick Fourie, handing over the cheque to the Funding Co-ordinator for Lebone Land, Mr Clint Bailey.
