André Rose’s three-month mentorship culminated in an exhibition of photographs titled 'Notions of Home, Identity and Belonging' being hosted at the Javett Art Centre, at the University of Pretoria until the 10th of May.

André is a public health scientist, photographer, and Free State Art Collective member. His art practice interrogates societal inequality, explores how urban spaces are utilised and affects and influences people’s lives and our connectedness to the soil. His interest and imagination are captured by the underbelly of society and its citizens at the fringe. 

His imagery disrupts the sublime narrative of photography and seeks to capture how the light etches the marks of society onto the photograph. He allows the images to narrate a story that invites viewers into a paradoxically uncomfortable, serene space.You can find out more about the Free State Art Collective here.
