Katleho Mosia
🇿🇦 South African-born artist Katleho Mosia blends oil paint, cowhide, and film to explore cultural identity, displacement, and spiritual awakening in a postcolonial context. Her work draws on Basotho heritage and contemporary life, and has been shown at DAC on Dorp Artists Residency (Cape Town), Standard Bank Joy of Jazz (Johannesburg), and the Michaelis Graduate Show (Cape Town).
Emmanuel Ngunga
🇨🇩 Congolese painter Emmanuel Ngunga explores identity, memory, and cultural continuity through hyperrealistic portraiture that merges traditional Congolese influences with a contemporary visual language.
Drawing from symbols, patterns, and narratives embedded in African heritage, his work positions the body as a site of cultural inscription and transformation. His practice creates a dialogue between tradition and modernity, where past and present intersect while opening space for future possibilities. Through this tension, he questions not only where we come from, but where we are going. Shaped by his transition from Kinshasa to Cape Town, Ngunga’s work reflects an evolving vision of African identity, situated within movement, change, and projected futures.
