This is the place Nthabiseng Boledi Kekana creates from —

a place where sight is deeper than the eyes,

where vision begins in the spirit,

and where gifts only matter when they serve, heal, and illuminate. ✨

Her reminder is simple and powerful:

“The eyes are useless when the mind is blind.”

What would our lives look like if we all created, lived, and listened from this place?

As the season turns and shadows lengthen, we enter a moment ancient peoples called Samhain — a time when the veil between worlds grows thin.

In many cultures, this is when the boundary between the seen and unseen dissolves — when ancestors draw near, when spirit and matter touch.

In African spirituality, this connection is not limited to a single night. The dialogue between worlds is continuous — ancestors live through us, the spiritual and the physical intertwine, and the feminine energy that births, heals, and transforms holds it all together.

Through her art, Nthabiseng Boledi Kekana embodies this sacred meeting point. Her work channels the divine feminine — the bridge between earth and spirit, the seen and unseen, life and afterlife.

This Halloween, we honor the moment when worlds touch — when creativity becomes communion, and the feminine spirit reminds us that every ending is a beginning in disguise. 🌒✨

Step beyond the veil — and into the art that connects us.

In autumn 2021, Undiscovered Canvas welcomed Lulama Wolf to France as part of the inaugural Makwande Art Residency — a moment that marked the beginning of an extraordinary artistic journey.

Her residency in Antibes gave rise to Ndizalwe nge ngubo emhlophe (“I was born wrapped in a white cloth”) — a powerful reflection on heritage, spirituality, and the gifts carried in our DNA.

Today, as Lulama’s career continues to soar globally — with features at Art Basel, 1-54, and collaborations with leading brands — we’re honoured to have been part of her early creative journey.

✨ Select works from this period remain available through Undiscovered Canvas — each piece carrying the spirit of that first creative season.

For Lamich, time is never static — the present is a space where the past and future coexist.

Her art seeks to capture this fluidity: figures placed against spacious, timeless backgrounds that resist being pinned down to a single moment.

🌿 “The one who hides, is the one who seeks.”

Lamich Kirabo’s poem and artwork "The Gardener" reflects on the cycles of creation, language, and play — reminding us that we are at once the seed and the soil, the word and the mouth that speaks it, the hider and the seeker.

This piece is about becoming — about how identity, memory, and imagination are not fixed, but always in movement.

✨ What do you see yourself as today — the gardener, the soil, the song, or the seeker?

🌍 Language is more than communication — it is a way of knowing, of entering into another’s world.

In this conversation with Lamich Kirabo, we reflected on how losing our mother tongue is not just about words — it’s about losing empathy, rhythm, and a profound way of understanding.

For many in the diaspora and for contemporary Africans in urban centers, English (or French, Portuguese…) becomes the common ground. Children grow up speaking it to each other because their mother tongues differ — and slowly, what once held the intimacy of home begins to fade.

Many mothers worry. Many of us feel the ache. And yet, we cannot stop what is happening. What we can do is ask:

✨ How do we hold onto the roots of our language?

✨ How do we honor its wisdom, even as we move in global spaces?

✨ What does your mother tongue mean to you — and what do you feel when it slips away?

💭 Share your reflections in the comments — your story may be someone else’s healing.

Lamich’s work explores identity as a reflection of time— how we evolve, remember, adapt, and carry the traces of cultures in motion. Through layered ink portraits, she searches for what is sacred, what is changing, and what remains.”

✨ “I realized I could hold my Ugandan-ness as something evolving in the present, not just as a tradition from the past.” — .kirabo

Culture is not a relic. It’s not just something our grandmothers pass down for us to guard like a fragile heirloom. Culture is alive. It moves with us, grows with us, and transforms as we do — even in the diaspora.

For those of us living far from home, embracing who we are is more than memory — it’s creation. We get to redefine what being Ugandan, African, diasporan means now. Proud of our roots, present in our time, contemporary in our expression.

✨ Still in awe after visiting exhibition at .mc in Monaco. Her installations carry a rare balance between purity and pain, material and meaning — leaving us deeply moved.

As part of , Suska’s work reminds us of the power of artistic collectives and the beautiful connections they nurture. It also takes us back to our collaboration with La Station for Nthabiseng Boledi Kekane’s residency in France — a project that continues to inspire.

We’re excited to celebrate Suska’s artistry, and to dream of future collaborations with Collect MC and La Station — building bridges through art, dialogue, and shared creativity. 🌍✨
