Mid-Morning Magic’s Yolanda Maartens speaks to Nonto Msomi, project manager at the Art Bank of South Africa, about this contemporary South African art exhibition.

“Invictus – Spirit of Democracy” resonates deeply with South Africa’s current struggles while celebrating the nation’s democratic spirit. 

This exhibition combines contemporary art with powerful narratives, showcasing Thalente Khomo’s photographs of memory, Azael Langa’s Mobile Home pieces capturing daily survival, and Thembinkosi Ntuli’s vibrant beaded depictions of African praise.

The exhibition strives to honour the unconquered spirit of South Africa through the transformative power of art. “Invictus – Spirit of Democracy” isn’t just an exhibition; it’s a rallying cry for empowerment and active participation in shaping our shared future. 

The exhibition can be viewed until Sunday (25/8). Oliewenhuis Art Museum is located at 16 Harry Smith Street, Bloemfontein, and is open to the public from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 17:00, and on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays between 09:00 and 16:00.
