The Deconstructive Lens of Ngadi Smart: From Drag to Climate Change
Blending documentary intimacy with carefully staged fiction, Thero Makepe’s photography reanimates family memory as both personal archive and political reckoning. Drawing on his lineage shaped by exile, anti-apartheid activism, and unspoken grief, writer Vamika Sinha unpacks how the Botswana-born artist creates images that feel at once tender and theatrical.

Mapping Literary Circuits with Bao Books From Tunis to Cairo
This is not an exhibition of heroes and heroines in the posture so often privileged within Southern African visual histories, where liberation iconography has dominated the frame and shaped the post-colonial and post-apartheid narrative. It resists the pull of monumentality and turns instead toward neighbours, colleagues, and loved ones – ordinary people whose lives unfold across the street, the workshop, the yard, and the long daily commute. It is about the quiet act of showing up, and the radical gesture of asking to be seen.
