CURRENT PROJECTS In his latest project, Modisakeng reflects on the hardships that come hand in hand with the spiritual journey of reconnecting with ancestral memory. At the same time, he brings awareness to an issue affecting a sacred site in South Africa. “Madimatle, the title of the exhibition, is borrowed from the name given to a sacred mountain and network of caves in South Africa where African people have, for thousands of years, been making pilgrimages for spiritual and cultural reasons. The mountain has since come under the control of a multinational corporation that threatens to mine the sacred site, thus disturbing its nature.” Throughout his career, Mohau Modisakeng has continued to wow us with his provocative work. His pieces transport us to a place where we can grieve and honor history while inspiring us to take a long look at some uncomfortable truths. His work is a true testament to powerful political art.
