Moshekwa Langa is an artist and visual anthropologist whose practice spans installations, drawing, video, and sculpture. Raised in South Africa during apartheid before migrating to the Netherlands, Langa’s work frequently delves into themes of identity, memory, and displacement, capturing both personal and collective experiences of migration and the complexities of belonging. Rising to international prominence in the late 1990s, he was an active participant in what is now considered the golden age of biennials, including Johannesburg (1997), Istanbul (1997), Havana (1997), São Paulo (1998 and 2010), Gwangju (2000), Venice (2003 and 2009) and Lyon (2011). Langa presented Omweg at KM21 in The Hague, in 2022. Previous solo exhibitions have been held at prominent institutions such as Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam (1998), Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva (1999), the Renaissance Society in Chicago (1999), the National Museum of the 21st Century Arts (MAXXI) in Rome (2005), Kunsthalle Bern (2011), Krannert Art Museum in Champaign, Illinois (2013), and the Chapel of the Cordeliers, Toulouse (2021), among others.
