Nelson Makamo Interiority

Interiority host Azania Mosaka was invited to be in conversation with one of the most exciting artists of our time; internationally acclaimed South African artist, Nelson Makamo. Nelson has exhibited in several major cities around the world and his work is featured in public and in some of the most astute private collections. Who can forget the historic moment of the 2019 publication of his artwork as the cover story of Time Magazines’ The art of optimism Issue.
This recording was in front of a live audience made up of journalists. This gathering was to celebrate Nelson Makamo 15 years as a professional artist and his return to showcasing his work in South Africa once more after walking away from gallery representation 5 years ago. He makes his return with an expansive exhibition of his signature charcoal style and something we haven't seen from him before; water colour works. He also returns with the launch of a collaborative art space; Botho Project Space which is set to inspire and challenge the business of art. Nelson Makamo's work cleanses the doors of perception, changing how we see the world, how we see ourselves and how we are seen.
