Sophie & Lerato

Nisha Merit and Thati Pele foreground research as a labour of love. Nisha and Thati look back on their respective thesis projects completed in 2015 and 2017. They introduce us to two main characters: Sophie and Lerato. These protagonists become the lens through which we explore Nisha and Thati’s retrospective research work as catalytic paths of self-discovery that led them to new places. 

Nisha is an independent curator and writer. Thati is a film director.
