Kemang Wa Lehulere explores the relationship between personal and collective histories, and how South Africa's violent past continues to haunt the present. Using found and repurposed materials, chalk, personal memories and texts, his poetic and layered works speak of suppression, unfulfilled dreams and voices that have been silenced or erased from official historiography.
