Meleko Mokgosi is an artist and associate professor of painting and drawing at the School of Art at Yale University. His work includes large-scale paintings that explore themes of colonialism, democracy, nationalism, and life in Southern Africa.
Objects of Desire, Addendum 7 includes a combination of text and image as a means of blending historical painting techniques with research-based annotations. This creates a multilayered effect, allowing us to critically examine African history.
