Lesotho Medley Exhibition at Morija Printing Works Canteen

Our aim with the art exhibition is still in line with the development and growth of our country’s emerging Creative Industry. Let me point out that arts and crafts are said to be the ‘most important creative industry for export earnings in developing countries’ like ours. Moreover Culture, ‘arts and crafts are the only creative industry where developing countries have a leading position in the global market.’ This means in order to really earn as much as is indicated, we need to continue developing this sector as we embrace and appreciate the knowledge, skills and talent that Basotho portray in exhibitions like this. We are a young industry in Lesotho, but we hope to make an increasing impact.

This year’s Art Exhibition was not given a specific  theme, but rather it offers a chance for artists to  be widely creative without any boundaries. This group of work presents a broad spectrum with regard to the medium used. You’ll see drawings, paintings, ceramics, sculpture as well as mixed media works.
