Arti Corner by Arti Tefo, Episode 3 - Interview with Sejake MatΕ‘ela
Welcome to the third episode of Arti Corner! In this episode, ArtiTefo chats with Sejake MatΕ‘ela, a fellow Mosotho writer, photographer, and PhD candidate in Visual Research who is based in the USA.
Be very angry. It may be the thing that saves us.
I worry that weβve come to expect nothing more from one another. We arenβt nearly angry enough at the structural and relational neglect weβre facing. Iβm heartbroken because this means, at some level, we donβt think we deserve any better. Perhaps we need to learn how to nurture an anger of hope so we can do the important work of dreaming up a different future.
