'We forget that no university can operate if it does not have a soul and that soul is when the arts come up.'

The exhibition includes this piece by Lumanyano Gosani, titled 'The Collapse: Ceramist’s Commentary On Dilapidated Public Healthcare in the Eastern Cape'.A selection of fine art students' political, socio-economic and spiritual artworks will go up on all four campuses of the Eastern Cape's Walter Sisulu University , “to give the institution some artistic soul”.

“We forget that no university can operate if it does not have a soul and that soul is when the arts come up. We’re talking about music the visual arts that we’re celebrating here,” said Midgley. “If we do not have that cultural bit inside us, then we are not complete human beings. When I come here [art gallery] there’s a little peace that I get as I walk around trying to connect in my own little way. I am incredibly proud of the work that’s being done in this department by the students. I maintain that this department is one of the best kept secrets in Africa.”

The WSU Visual Arts Department hosts an annual exhibition, where final-year fine art B. Tech students showcase their pieces. One brow-raising exhibition is that of Lumanyano Gosani, titled “The Collapse: Ceramicist’s Commentary on Dilapidated Public Healthcare in the Eastern Cape. “The study focuses on the fundamental aspects, such as the right to health care, public hospitals and infrastructure, with a focus on rural areas of the province. The aim of the study is to put forward a radical challenge to government officials on the fact that public health in the province has deteriorated so badly in the past 24 years of democracy,” said Lumanyano.The university is refurbishing teaching and learning facilities on all its campuses.
