Listen "Episode 6: Lerato Nkosi"
Episode Synopsis
I sit down with Johannesburg-based artist Lerato Nkosi, the inaugural winner of the ANNA Award. Lerato’s unique practice—using ink, stamps, and water—challenges ideas of identity, memory, and self-discovery, particularly from a female perspective. We discuss how her upbringing shaped her artistic voice, the role of social media in expanding visibility, and the challenges of navigating the art world as a woman. With her latest exhibition at Gallery Momo, Lerato is carving a distinct space for herself in the industry, creating thought-provoking works that push important conversations into new spaces. Join us for a deep dive into her journey, her inspirations, and how she’s redefining contemporary African art—one layered, evocative piece at a time.
