We mourn the passing of a friend.
The international art world has lost a promising young, innovative artist.
“Because I always feel like running, not away, because there is no such place
Because, if there was I would have found it by now […]
Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something
of more value to be running and not in fear.”
–Gil Scott-Heron, “Running”
Thabiso Sekgala was the first artist to receive a grant from KfW Stiftung, Frankfurt, for the artists-in-residence programme at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, in 2013/2014.
