Maranyane: the rounded artist

Emang ‘LadyArtist’ Maranyane has been building her artistic reputation in the last few years and recently told Arts & Culture in an interview that she has registered her creative company called Gemani Arts. She said she will launch the project next year in June and it will be launched in Gaborone, Selebi-Phikwe, Serowe and Franscistown. She said the name Gemani was coined from her horoscope and name.

She said after the launch her company will focus on young people who do not do well in JC and BGCSE final exams. “Gemani will tutor, teach and sell art. It will include visual artists management,” she said. Maranyane said she will engage the youth in rural areas so that they can learn where to market and exhibit their artwork. “After teaching these talented youth, I want them to work alongside me,” she said. She said she does not want to leave any stone unturned.
