Monageng�s art tells the story of Tlokweng

And the young artist believes this comes at the right time as he prepares for an exhibition at Alliance Française next month. The concept, he says, is inspired by street culture. “I grew up in the streets of Tlokweng and if you are familiar with activities around Tlokweng you will be able to identify with the message behind the artworks,” he says. The 22-year-old bemoans what he calls a ‘cultural shift’ that is taking place in Tlokweng and hopes his art will ‘knock some sense into a few heads’.
