[I]n this podcast, I speak to the curators Janine Allen and Jan van Der Merwe ahead of the opening of their recently curated group exhibition titled Visual Languages at the Die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns (South African Academy for Science and Art), Tshwane. The exhibition brings together works by lecturers at the Visual Arts Department of the University of the Free State and that academic institution’s postgraduate students under one roof. The results, an exhibition of varied artistic approaches and practices that sweep across mixed media, photography, digital art, drawing and printmaking.
