Dineo Seshee Bopape

[1] Using experimental video montages, sound, found objects, photographs and dense sculptural installations, her artwork "engages with powerful socio-political notions of memory, narration and representation.

[11] Her piece but that is not the important part of the story, which first premiered at the Lyon Biennial in 2013,[11] was featured in the 2014 exhibition Ruffneck Constructivists at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, which was curated by Bopape's former teacher and mentor Kara Walker.

[11] The installation work was made up of wooden beams draped in white fabric, electrical cables, screens, rear-view mirrors, a small fan, and sound recordings.

[14] In 2018 she was part of the 10th Berlin Biennale, curated by Gabi Ngcobo and a curatorial team that includes Nomaduma Rosa Masilela, Serubiri Moses, Thiago de Paula Souza and Yvette Mutumba.

Set among debris, and made specially for the biennale, the work was bathed in orange light and includes among its videos a film about a white man raping a black woman and clips of legendary artist Nina Simone’s mental breakdown on stage.
