Modisa Tim Motsomi
Modisa Motsomi (b. 1990, Botswana) is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Francistown, Botswana. His work explores various contextualisations of the black body as both place and inhabited space. In recent work, Motsomi utilises topographical mapping practices in a fragmented manner to highlight the visible and invisible negotiations inherent in the map-making process, and imaginatively plays with the notion of defining, naming and claiming land and assumptions of sovereignty.
Motsomi's work has been presented in numerous
exhibitions in South Africa and Botswana and has also
exhibited in the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Israel and Kenya. Academically, he has contributed presentations and texts at various conferences and has participated in two international residencies.
