Mid-Morning Magic’s Yolanda Maartens chats with exhibition curator Bontle Tau about the virtual and physical exhibition, A Wound in Time.

The exhibition consists of alumni, staff and friends of the UFS Fine Arts Department where the artists guide viewers through a journey which confronts the internal unrest that follows directly after a time of hardship.

Issues such as trauma, loss, a global pandemic and even discontentment are being tackled through the exhibition. The exhibition unfolds the liminal space in between the happening of these issues and the process of recovery. Each work serves as a checkpoint in the voyage between hurt and healing; they become memorial for the temporary silence and reflection.

The show physically takes place at the newly-implemented Stethoscape Project Space, which is a new initiative within the Department of Fine Arts UFS for creative outputs and exhibitions. The physical show runs from 6 to 29 April 2022.
