I've been perplexed and disgusted by the concept and reality of racism for about as long as I can remember. I vividly remember seeing a news clip of white police officers attacking black people with German Shepherds and watching them dogs the young men with a sadistic pleasure that would make even the devil blush. This was a news clip from post-Apartheid South Africa; POST Apartheid. I was young. Far too young to be exposed to such a gruesome reality but I had to see it; that was our reality. That is still our reality the world over. We are not valued.We are hated. So many black people around the world have fallen victim to this disgusting plague, robbing us of our livelihoods, our dignity, our sense of self-worth and our lives. It has to stop. This is my little contribution to this struggle that has, sadly, defined our existence on this earth. A Simple Message: BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Giancarlo Diablo LaGuerta is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist and curator, born and raised in Gaborone, Botswana. His work attempts to destigmatize conversations around politics, masculinity, culture and heritage in the context of Botswana and Southern Africa. Giancarlo’s approach to making work is experimental and many of his works blur the line between representative and abstract. This is the case across the many mediums he uses which include painting, drawing, collage, photography, installation video and music production. The themes in his work have ranged from various aspects of his personal experience - including his psychological state – to some of the shared aspects of human existence like grief, religion and politics. Giancarlo is based in Gaborone, Botswana where he continues to hone his craft and work closely with his community.
