Paul Maheke

Through various art forms and disciplines, from drawing to performance, Paul Maheke has pursued a long-term exploration of the ways in which marginalised bodies, narratives and histories are made visible and invisible. Resisting an exploration of identity that is framed solely within identity politics, Paul Maheke's trajectory has always been channeled through spectral sensations. By reconfiguring the sensible, Mahake nurtures the formation of a self through a state of in-betweenness; a state where esoteric, spiritual, queer and embodied knowledge help the artist garner the potential of a prophecy.
