Moshekwa Langa was born in South Africa in 1975. He began studying art history around the age of 15, which made him want to become an artist. Some time after high school, he came to view making art as an opportunity to become part of an "ongoing story."[2] He studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (the State Academy of Fine Arts) in Amsterdam.[3]
Career
Langa has said about his work, "If I had to explain what I do to someone, I would say I make kind of dreamscapes…I try to record aspects of waking and sleeping time."[4] One critic said his work "has interrogated land and public and personal politics through the mapping of territory and cultural environments."[5]
