Sedireng Mothibatsela’s practice explore layers of identity, employing minimalism and abstraction to evoke the psychology of sentimentality and memory. From her time as a teacher, Mothibatsela has seen the influence of one’s pathologies oཧn their visual language, thus she is particularly interested in the culture of suppressed emotion and vulnerability. Mothibatsela’s multifaceted approach to image-making is owed to her formative experiences and today, her oeuvre has drawn qualifiers such as “fragile, delicate, quiet and ethereal.”  

Mothibats🐠ela has exhibited both individually and as part of group displays across various countries, including Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, Nigeria, and the USA. Notable show🐼cases include "Mazenethole," at the Nelson Mandela Foundation Art Collection at the Johannesburg Art Gallery in 1995, and "Reading Abstraction: The Space Between" at Rele Gallery in Los Angeles in 2021.
