Meet The Artist - Kim Karabo Makin

Artist Feature on the occasion of the exhibition We Are Afrika: the Power of Women and Youth. Check out the World Bank project inspiring this exhibition: https://www.worldbank.org/en/region/a... Born in Gaborone, Botswana, Kim Karabo Makin is a Master of Fine Art (MFA) student, at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town (South Africa). Much of her work is informed by her multiculturalism and lived sense of displacement –with particular attention to the role that context plays in identity formation. Makin’s practice at present compounds aspects of her background in Sculpture (her undergraduate major), with her experience in New Media and Radio -having worked on-air at UCT Radio since 2016. Her practice thus combines sculpture, sound and installation, with a research archival base. She has participated in a number of group exhibitions, including Return to Sender(Centre for African Studies Gallery, University of Cape Town, 2015),The Devil Loves When We Loathe Ourselves(99 Loop Gallery, Cape Town, 2018),Formally Known As(AVA Gallery, Cape Town, 2019), the Graduate Exhibition at the RMB Turbine Art Fair (curated by Kefiloe Siwisain collaboration with Maja Marx, Johannesburg, 2019), as well as in two installations of The Botswana Pavilion; No Return(Gallery MOMO, Cape Town, 2019) and Subjective Nationhood(Botswana National Art Gallery, Gaborone, 2019). In 2018, she was also shortlisted as one of the Top 100 finalists in the AbsaL’Atelier. Most recently she was selected to represent The Botswana Pavilion as a Hub Manager at the Creative Hubs Academy (created in partnership with Nesta, British Council and Hivos). She continues to manage The Botswana Pavilion alongside core members, with upcoming projects planned in collaboration with Pro Helvetia (Johannesburg) and the National Gallery of Zimbabwe (Bulawayo).
