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 Faculty of the Humanities at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently launched an anti-plagiarism awareness campaign on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein. Part of the launch was an exhibition in the foyer of the Flippie Groenewoud building and a slogan competition for students. The winning slogan was: “Copy and paste your studies to waste" from Aldoret Theron, a second-year student in B.Soc.Sc. Human and Societal Dynamics, the second prize went to Jacqueline Pretorius, a second-year student in B.Sc. Medical Microbiology with her slogan: “Plagiaat, die begin van jou lewe op straat", and the third prize was won by Gini Keyser, a third-year student in B.A. General with her slogan "Cloning it is clowning it”. Here are, from the left: Gini Keyser, Aldoret Theron, Prof. Engela Pretorius (Vice-Dean of the Faculty of the Humanities at the UFS), Marizanne Cloete (from the Faculty of the Humanities' Portfolio Committee for Quality Assurance), and Jacqueline Pretorius.
