(Owethu) Kholofelo Tema is a candidate architectural technologist and cultural worker based in Johannesburg, South Africa. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Architectural Studies (Honours) at the University of the Witwatersrand.

Working across architecture and contemporary art, Tema has developed a diverse professional background spanning art fairs, project spaces, online art platforms and commercial galleries. These experiences have informed an emergent curatorial practice situated at the intersection of the built environment, urbanism and contemporary visual culture.

His curatorial practice explores the relationships between the built environment, space, place-making and ecological transformation. Through exhibitions, he investigates how histories of extraction, materiality and urban development continue to shape contemporary spatial and social realities.
