BKTTA – Be Kind To This Art

Be kind to This Art ( BKTTA) in collaboration with Ihlahla presents Masai Sepuru’s Mmele pelo le moya and Lulu Ezra’s Poetry Paint.

Mmele pelo le moya by Masai Spuru

At Ihlahla, we’re honoured to feature the work of two remarkable South African artists whose creations delve into the heart of identity, memory, and the stories that bind us together. Masai Sepuru’s art is a vibrant exploration of cultural identity and the power of narrative. Through bold colours, striking patterns, and thought-provoking imagery, Mmele pelo le moya challenges us to reflect on our place in the world. Each piece is a celebration of heritage, a call to kindness, and an invitation to connect with the deeper threads of our shared humanity. Masai’s art is a memory capturing machine, freezing time to allow for reflection and grace. He is exploring nostalgia as a protest. Shop Masai Spuru Art

With a masterful use of texture, symbolism, and emotion, Lulu’s work invites you to pause, reflect, and find your own story within his.
