Giancarlo Diablo LaGuerta is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist and curator, born and based in Gaborone, Botswana where he continues to hone his craft and work  with his community. 

His work (curatorship and art practice) attempts to destigmatize conversations around  politics, masculinity, culture and heritage in the context of Botswana. Giancarlo’s approach to making work is experimental and many of his works blur the line between being  representative and complete abstraction. This is the case across the many mediums he uses  which include painting, drawing, collage, photography, video and music production. 

He  makes large scale works not only to make loud statements but also to sort of magnify  private thoughts and emotions. The themes in his work have ranged from various aspects of  his personal experience - including his psychological state – to some of the shared aspects of  human existence like grief and politics.
