OFM Artbeat: New Breed winner - Her art is her voice  | News Article
Keabetswe Mosetlhe

Artist Keabetswe Mosetlhe was recently announced as the winner of the 2022 Phatsoane Henny New Breed Art Competition for her ceramic figures entitled “Signing”.

In the OFM Art Beat Mid-Morning Magic’s Yolanda Maartens chats to Phatsoane Henny Attorneys CEO, Lesley Mokgoro, Keabetswe Mosetlhe and South African Sign Language interpreter Hemric Nodom.

“As a deaf person, I am not able to communicate with my family. My artwork describes my family and the challenges that I have when I want to express something. 

They do not know sign language and normally I have to do lip reading to communicate with them. Communication with my family is a real challenge for me”, said Keabetswe Mosetlhe.

The judges agreed that Keabetswe deserved the highest accolade in this year’s competition and was awarded R50,000 in prize money as the Overall winner.

Lesley announced the winners of the 2022 competition at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum on 03 November 2022.

The New Breed Art Competition was established in 2016 as a unique visual arts competition for Free State artists. Now in its sixth year, the competition provides an excellent platform for Free State artists to showcase their talent and benefit from the prizes and national exposure the competition provides.
