Alumni Profile of Boingotlo Joan Legalamitlwa

Started at Tsogo High School in 1992 and matriculated in 1997. Earlier I attended Primary School at D P Kgotleng, in  Unit 2,  Mmabatho. I later continued to University of  Cape Town

Currently, I work as a curator in a cape town based art gallery – Michael Stevenson. The gallery has a team of 5 curators who manage the gallery artists as well as their exhibitions at the gallery and elsewhere. Gallery artists include South African greats such as Pieter Hugo, Nicholas Hlobo, Zanele Muholi, Penny Siopis, Berni Searle and Nandipha Mntambo among others. The gallery functions as the artists support base – from the conception of artworks, through the production and beyond the exhibition phase. Most importantly, we help sell their products to reputable collectors and institutions as well as insure that their art is marketed in art circles around the world.
