Rooted in his curatorial vision Globalisto, South African artist, musician, and theorist Ntshepe Tsekere Bopape (Mo Laudi) hosts this compelling conversation with participating artists of Africa Basel and Ibrahim Mohama. Globalisto offers both a poetic and political response to Western-centred frameworks—championing decolonial thinking, multiplicity of voices, and global dialogue through artistic practice.

In this episode of Africa Basel Conversations, Mo Laudi explores themes of belonging, migration, and cultural hybridity in conversation with artists whose work navigates the intersections of global entanglement and African realities. Together, they reflect on the role of art in making visible what is often unseen—be it memory, history, or identity—and on how creativity becomes a space for reclaiming narratives and forging new solidarities.

Guests:

• Alexis Peskine – Visual artist known for powerful portraits exploring diaspora and identity

• Helen Nzete – Multidisciplinary artist engaging with memory and the body

• Ibrahim Mahama – Ghanaian artist whose large-scale installations address labour, trade, and post-colonial histories

Moderated by:

Ntshepe Tsekere Bopape (Mo Laudi) – Artist, musician, curator, and founder of the Globalisto platform
