About this audio guide
This guide to BKhz in Johannesburg follows painter Banele Khoza from a lonely rented studio in Pretoria, where diary confessions became ghostly figures reaching for each other on canvas, through his path from fashion school in London to fine art and a 2017 award that sent him to Paris. It covers his upbringing in Eswatini, and the solo show at Cape Town's Zeitz MOCAA that put queer desire plainly on a major South African institution's walls for one of the first times. Look around this room, once his own studio in Braamfontein before it moved here to Rosebank.
