The DUT Art Gallery is proud to announce its next show, Inqolobane, (direct English translation Silo) which is based on the presentation of the University’s permanent collection that has been collected for over 25 years.

The collection has become a historical reference that encompasses cultural diversity whilst encouraging continuity in research, teaching and promotion of the visual arts within the student body and society at large. The collection continues to grow through donations and purchases that have relevance to current commentary.
