Boipelo Seswane 

Boipelo Seswane is a South African creative artist currently living in Daegu, South Korea.

Her process has always included marrying aspects of these, sometimes through different iterations. By continuously discovering the layers of how we relate through our place in society, Boipelo’s work explores questions around belonging, community, and worthiness, as well as what we tend to keep and also leave behind in the process of building our lives while possibly honouring where we came from. Her work has, through the recent years, taken form through leading the workshop that produced Black in Asia, as well as Creative Direction to produce Powerful Asian Moms, both anthologies published by Spill Stories, a publisher run by Black and Asian women; writing for Gwangju News and Bracket Magazine; as well as returning to the stage/performance.
