The North West University Gallery and Studio Nxumalo Contemporary are proud to present âMorapedi, One Who Praysâ, a solo exhibition by Lerato Lodi, curated by Amohelang Mohajane.
In her first solo exhibition,
Lerato Lodi takes us along the start of a journey that investigates her curiosity of the intricacies of dual spiritual practices prevalent in âSebaka sa Badimoâ (a shrine or a sacred ritual site that is fundamental in traditional African spiritual practice), and the church as a space of worship an important setting for Christianity.
A spiritual companion to Lodi, Morapedi shows up and communicates in various forms but most notably as a memory of her late grandmother who was a community leader, an entrepreneur and a committed Methodist church member who embraced badimo le ho pahla .
