Exhibition | Nyakallo Maleke, 'A Soft Language of Distance' at Bode, Berlin, Germany

Johannesburg-based artist Nyakallo Maleke presents her solo exhibition, 'A Soft Language of Distance,' at Bode in Berlin. The show features an expanded practice of drawing that incorporates textiles, wax paper, and intricate stitching to explore themes of movement, memory, and spatial experience. Maleke, who was recently named the recipient of the 2025 Standard Bank Young Artist Award, utilizes these unconventional materials to create a tactile vocabulary that bridges the gap between intimate gesture and architectural form.

We Didn’t Choose to Be Born Here: Inherited Frequencies

Botswana-born artist Thero Makepe presents 'We Didn’t Choose to Be Born Here: Inherited Frequencies' at the Javett Art Centre at the University of Pretoria, an exhibition running until February 13, 2027. The show combines staged portraiture, archival imagery, and documentary photography to explore themes of memory, migration, and political inheritance, focusing on the intertwined histories of Botswana and South Africa. Makepe traces his own family’s anti-apartheid struggle, including his grandfather Hippolytus Mothopeng’s flight from apartheid South Africa and the legacy of PAC leader Zephaniah Mothopeng, treating history as fragmented and continuously reassembled rather than fixed.
