Kim Karabo Makin
Kim Karabo Makin (b. 1994, Gaborone, Botswana) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice weaves together sculpture, sound, and site-responsive installation, grounded in rigorous research and a keen spatial awareness. Informed by lived experiences of displacement, migration, and multiculturalism, Makin’s work examines how geographic, historical, and cultural contexts shape individual and collective identity. Through nuanced material exploration, she invites viewers to reconsider their relationship to physical space, memory, and environment.
Holding a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town, Makin thoughtfully bridges personal narrative with broader social commentary. Her research-driven installations frequently combine tactile mediums and auditory components to construct immersive, reflective spaces. By probing the subtleties of heritage and spatial politics, her practice cultivates meaningful dialogue around home, regional boundaries, and the fluid dynamics of contemporary belonging.
