The social media campaign showcasing the In Conversation: Four Decades of Artworks exhibition, a tribute marking Rhodes University's 120th anniversary, has been honoured with a prestigious MACE Excellence Award. This accolade recognises the exceptional work done in profiling the Rhodes University Fine Art Department’s exhibit during the National Arts Festival (NAF) in June.
