Meleko Mokgosi

Born in 1981, in Botswana
Lives and works in Francistown (Botswana)

Meleko Mokgosi studied at the Slade School of Art in London before settling in the United States, and still maintains close ties with his native country.

Biography

His interest lies particularly in history painting. He uses this genre, through which European nations told their myths and conquests, to engage with the history of southern African countries. “You have to know the history of painting, but you also have to know how to negate it,” he says.
