The Arts & Culture department at Nelson Mandela University held the Fluid exhibition last week Thursday at the Bird Street Campus of the university. I have to say it was one of the best events that I have ever attended in my life thus far. As I walked into the art gallery, I was greeted by models showcasing the work of the talented Nehemiah Latolla who also doubles as a science Phd student.

The reason I say attending the exhibition influenced my point of view is because it re-introduced me to the world of the creative. The amount of time and effort that creatives put in their work is proof of their passion for their craft.

I strongly urge you to attend art exhibitio...
