The Unisa art gallery launched an exhibition over the weekend aimed at promoting social cohesion.
The works showcased were those of art history masters and doctorate students, including Daniel Rankadi Mosako, Kabelo Maja, Yvette Dunn-Moses and Hannelie Swart.
“The opening was great and there was a great turnout,” said Rankadi Mosako, one of the artists showcasing at the exhibition.
His artwork, entitle Cohesion was about promoting social cohesion in the country.
“I didn’t want to simply just use the theme ‘social cohesion’ because it is too broad and overused.”
Mosako is an art practitioner and Unisa PhD student.
