Lekgotla

Lekgotla is a Sesotho/Setswana term for a democratic forum used by communities to settle disputes, as is embodied in the concept of “justice under a tree”. The print shows wooden logs that form a gathering space, speaking to indigenous practices of collective responsibility and decision making through discourse. The chair arrangement symbolises individual voices and perspectives that converge within the communal space, each contributing to the collective narrative. The plastic chairs in the traditional court setting hints at how tradition merges with modern influences.
