Artists erect mural on gender violence

The artists are Bezuba Kaunda and Itumeleng Motswetla. In an interview with Arts & Culture, Motswetla said some Batswana young men have grown up believing that it acceptable to publicly harass, abuse and intimidate women.

“They bear no shame and perceive no consequences for their behaviour. This piece is the first in a series of installations aimed to raise awareness on this concerning issue in Botswana. We hope it inspires dialogue around addressing and eradicating the growing problem of gender based violence,” Motswetla revealed.
