Lemogang is a qualified Expressive Movement facilitator and is currently studying at The School of Movement Medicine. She came into both practices through Lesaka La Basadi, an autonomous space for self-healing and transformation. Women who experience/d violence converge with the aim to reclaim, rebuild, reinvent, maintain, and take control of own lives – own being.

Lesaka caters for women living in various townships, informal settlements, peri-urban and rural settings, in the main. Majority are unemployed, in or dropped-out of school, in or in-between low paying jobs and or other “hand-to-mouth” income generating creativities. South Afrika at its margins. A complex multifaceted set of conditions that incessantly beckon women of all hues once forms of structural and inter-personal violence threaten or hit home.

 Through her professional practice she has been able to assist with supporting students within the Market Photoworkshop. She is currently working on a formally structured platform that will assist artists in channeling their traumas into visual works.
