The University of South Africa invites interested Unisa student artists, staff and alumni to participate in transforming the Unisa Science Campus in Florida, Johannesburg, with various types of public artworks that embody the sustainability principles of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Unisa’s Florida Campus is the hub of Unisa’s science, engineering and technology and agriculture and environmental sciences programmes.

The specific area on campus ear-marked for this intervention includes three main buildings: the Calabash, NB Pityana and the GJ Gerwel blocks and leads to the engineering laboratories and workshops....Click here ti visit the website
