Works by LegakwanaLeo Makgekgenene
The work of LegakwanaLeo Makgekgenene (1995, Gaborone, Botswana) is a determined effort to bypass cultural censorship and contrast the restrictions of toxic traditionalism, producing an elusive critique of the state apparatus and sociological structures. Makgekgenene's work confronts the evolution of women's movements in Botswana and explores alternative entry points to critical and radical pedagogies. Among her main exhibitions: Maš(w)i a Ditoro tsa Rona, Sakhile & Me, Frankfurt, Germany (2022); Women Antiracists, Women Soaring Project, California, USA (2022); Unfinished Camp, Online via Zeitz MOCCA, New York-USA-Basel, Switzerland (2021); Echoes of [Un]silenced Voices, Thapong Visual Arts Centre, Gaborone, Botswana, British Council & Southern Africa Arts initiative (2019).
