This is us

One of the oldest and most basic ways of expressing our feelings is through art – creativity as an artistic statement as well as a therapeutic activity.

 

With this in mind, staff members from the NWU Gallery have put together an online exhibition featuring artworks from students, staff and alumni of the NWU.

 

The RACONTEUR|Covid-19 the NWU Way project features artworks created during the lockdown period, depicting the emotional turmoil some people have experienced during this time.

 

The word ‘raconteur’ refers to a skillful story teller –  which these artists indeed are. Through their work they share the fears, aspirations and small victories they have experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic.
