Kesaobaka Jackson

In the realm of contemporary art, a new voice emerges—Kesaobaka Jackson (b. 1995, Botswana)—an artist whose work powerfully explores the intricate landscapes of African identity, cultural heritage, and human emotion.

Jackson is a Fine Arts & Design graduate with a strong foundation from Rethuseng Secondary School, Naledi Senior School, and Lobatse Secondary School in Botswana. She achieved A marks throughout her 7-year academic journey, showcasing her exceptional talent and dedication to her craft. Beyond her artistic pursuits, Jackson is a multifaceted individual with a strong foundation in education and biology, having also studied at the University of Botswana.

Jackson's oeuvre stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit, transforming personal experiences into vibrant, emotionally resonant artworks that bridge ancestral wisdom with contemporary African experiences.

As both a storyteller and survivor, Jackson illuminates the human condition through art that transcends mere visual representation. Her work is a radiant dialogue between past and present, carefully weaving personal narrative with broader cultural contexts.
