[4me4you]

4me4you had the opportunity to visit Rise Art Gallery, where the spotlight was on the artist Nelson Makamo - “IN SEARCH OF INTERNAL JOY“.

Nelson Makamo uses his art to amplify the voices of the children from his birthplace, Limpopo, South Africa's northernmost province. Through various expressive mediums such as acrylic, print, watercolour, and charcoal, Makamo creates vivid and heartfelt portraits that capture the essence of childhood. His work defies common stereotypes, offering a fresh perspective on African youth.

In Search of Internal Joy Makamo’s art focuses on the radiance and hope of African children, rather than portraying them as victims of poverty, a theme often mistakenly associated with rural African youth. 

In works like Golden Moments, he highlights the joy and beauty of childhood, evoking a sense of eternal optimism. This approach earned him a feature in TIME magazine, which described his work as “The Art of Optimism.” Makamo's portraits aim to shift the global perception of African children, showcasing their strength, determination, and resilience. 

His distinctive use of mixed media and unique mark-making techniques sets his style apart. A particularly special aspect of his work is his frequent depiction of his 12-year-old cousin, Mapule Maoto, whose presence adds warmth and intimacy to his creations.

Multimedia Journal Summary

For my multi-media blog, I chose to look at an episode from the show All American, the movie Remember the Titans, and works of the artist Nelson Makamo. I learned a lot about problems that are still on going in our society regarding culture and race. Specifically, racial profiling, perceptions of race inferiority, and black representation in art. I thought it was interesting that even though black people were freed from slavery over 160 years ago, they are still facing many of the same problems today. Mainly, how they are perceived and portrayed in the public eye. It related to our course material, as this summer we dug into how time and time again, black people were misrepresented as inferior to people of the white race. Also, we looked at ways that black artists are changing perceptions using their art to show everyone who they truly are.
