Acclaimed artist Ayana V Jackson in conversation with Senzeni Marasela, who will present works with Koop Projects at Discovery at Photo London in May. One of the most exciting artists working in South Africa today, Marasela’s fascinating, multilayered practice — which includes photography, performance, textile and sculpture – is rooted in storytelling, melding South African history to personal, family memories. Marasela, who was included in the 56th Johannesburg Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2015) and presented a solo exhibition at Zeitz MOCAA (2020 -2021) discusses her practice with Ayana V Jackson, an artist working with film and photography to, and the founder of Still Art, a residency programme in Johannesburg, where Marasela was recently artist in residence.
