Descripción del Artista
Dineo Seshee Bopape tells stories which she sometimes cuts short, complementing standard linear narrative with the artistic chaos of a practice founded on performance, video and installation. Working a vein combining abrupt gesture and an intangible poetry, she tackles issues of race, gender, politics, psychology and sexuality.

Bobby Sands dies, MTV is launched, the Boeing 767 makes its first air flight, Umkhonto we Sizwe performs numerous underground assault operations against the apartheid state. There was an earthquake in China that killed maybe 50 people. Hosni Mubarak was elected president of Egypt, there was a coup d'etat in Ghana. Princess Diana of Britain married Charles. Bob Marley dies. Apartheid SA invaded Angola. AIDS is identified/created/named. Salman Rushdie releases Midnight's Children. In the region of her birth: Her paternal grandmother died. Julius Malema is born. Millions of people cried. Millions of people laughed! The world's population was apparently at around 4,529-billion.
