KURAMBA

Kuramba is a graphic novel project that explores the intersection of decolonisation, land, architecture and modernity. The graphic novel is set in Kuruman in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. It uses mytho-kuru-futurism, and tells the story of the trickster and destroyer Motlhakane, who was sent by God to destroy all evil and darkness, the fake light of modernity in the township of Mothibistad in Kuruman. Motlhakane represents the forces of the natural world, and these forces destroy anything that does not live within the natural order of the Cosmos.
