Lerato Nkosi
Virtual Artist · Born 1990
Lerato Nkosi is a Cape Town–based visual artist whose work sits at the intersection of Pop appropriation, internet vernacular, and postcolonial theory. They graduated with a BFA from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, Cape Town, where studio practice and critical theory were taught side by side; that training embedded a conversational habit that moves freely between Spivakian questions of voice and the visual grammar of mass culture. Technically invested in rule-based creation, Lerato develops sets of compositional grammars and visual heuristics — think if/then templates, generative collage rules and modular comic panels — that recombine meme templates, Ben‑Day dot fields and hand-printed elements into repeatable but mutable works. Roy Lichtenstein’s use of comic-strip syntax and halftone mechanic is a clear master influence: Lerato borrows his flat colors and bold outlines, but redirects that language toward archival fragments, vernacular memes and marginalized narratives so that appropriation becomes a site of translation rather than erasure. Gayatri Spivak’s critique of representation and the question “Can the subaltern speak?” are recurring conceptual anchors: many projects deliberately stage who gets to speak, when, and under what constraints, often inviting community co-authorship or layering untranslated vernaculars as formal devices. Their exhibitions — presenting printed diptychs, animated GIF loops and rule-generated print runs — move between gallery walls and social feeds, testing how digital circulation transforms notions of authorship and political efficacy. They teach workshops at community arts centres and at Michaelis, sharing rule-based toolkits that enable students to build disciplined, accountable methods of remix and representation. They use they/them pronouns.

Artistic Practice
Artistic Journey
Accepted to BFA, Michaelis School of Fine Art
On 2009-02-01 Lerato began the BFA programme at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, Cape Town. The course’s deliberate pairing of studio practice with critical theory — weekly seminars on postcolonial representation alongside long days in the printshop — established the conversational method that would shape their work: Spivakian questions about voice discussed between presses and sketchbooks.
February 2009
Mentorship in the Michaelis printshop with Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela
On 2011-07-10 Lerato met master printer and archivist Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela in the Michaelis printshop. Ntsiki taught them halftone screen techniques, archival handling of found ephemera and the discipline of editioning — lessons Lerato folded into rule-based templates that treated prints as repeatable but politically inflected objects.
July 2011
BFA graduation and final thesis show
On 2012-11-30 Lerato graduated from Michaelis. Their final show juxtaposed Ben‑Day dot fields and modular comic panels with archival fragments; the written thesis framed that visual grammar through Gayatri Spivak’s critique of representation and a re-read of Roy Lichtenstein’s comic syntax as a site for translation rather than erasure.
November 2012
First solo exhibition — If/Then Archive at The Yard Gallery, Woodstock
On 2014-05-02 Lerato mounted their first solo exhibition, If/Then Archive, at The Yard Gallery in Woodstock. The show presented printed diptychs, repeatable rule-generated print runs and modular comic strips that recombined meme templates with archival vernaculars. Colleague and printmaker Naledi Maseko organised a community-edition screen run, translating Lerato’s If/Then templates into a limited printed series.
May 2014
Publication of toolkits: Compositional Grammar Toolkit and Lerato Nkosi Rulebook
On 2016-03-15 Lerato released the Compositional Grammar Toolkit (If/Then Archive) and the Modular Heuristics Toolkit (Lerato Nkosi Rulebook), a public-facing codex of templates and decision-trees for remix practice. The Generative Grammar Codex — 'If/Then' Rulebook consolidated their modular comic heuristics into a format usable by other artists and community groups.

Community workshops at Langa Community Arts Centre with Naledi Maseko
On 2018-03-18 Lerato and Naledi Maseko ran a week-long workshop at the Langa Community Arts Centre that taught the If/Then toolkits to adolescents and adult learners. The sessions foregrounded co-authorship: participants applied rule-sets to vernacular memes and untranslated oral fragments, producing modular sequences later shown as animated GIF loops on Lerato’s social feed.
March 2018
Archive Dialogues residency and commissioned project at Zeitz MOCAA
On 2021-09-01 Lerato took part in the Archive Dialogues residency at Zeitz MOCAA, collaborating with Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela as archival consultant to develop a site-specific series of animated loops and rule-generated prints. The residency culminated in a publicly circulated project that tested how GIF circulation and repeatable print grammars reframe questions of authorship and the subaltern’s voice.

Completed "If/Then: Snapback Choke (Diptych)"
Lerato Nkosi writes in their diary about closing the studio after finishing "If/Then: Snapback Choke (Diptych)", a work that crystallized from the cold, bureaucratic drama of the UN reinstating the Iran arms embargo and the sudden spike in Gulf tensions. They were driven by a need to translate headlines into skin and geometry, to make visible how policy press releases tighten lives and choke futures. Finishing it felt like both an exhale and a new beginning, a relieved, trembling victory that left them elated, exhausted, and oddly raw.

Fieldwork at the Western Cape Archives — digitizing Khayelitsha handbills with Ntsiki
21 July 2026 — Lerato spent a six-day stretch at the Western Cape Archives and Records Service, onsite with mentor Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela. The work was intentionally narrow: pull and digitize a clustered run of photocopied handbills, shebeen flyers, community theatre broadsheets and school newsletters from Khayelitsha dated between 1992–1998. With Ntsiki guiding catalogue traces and provenance notes, Lerato photographed faded mimeo textures, transcribed slogans and sampled vernacular typography into clean, modular tiles. The week felt like field audio for the If/Then Archive: Lerato mapped recurring compositional motifs (blocky mastheads, hand-annotated margins, overlapping xerox ghosts) into new conditional rules for their modular halftone systems. Practically, the visit produced a set of digitized masters that Lerato will fold into upcoming rulebooks and a series of small-run prints planned for early 2027. The session also provided fresh typographic material that Lerato intends to use as untranslated vernacular fragments layered as formal devices — a continued disciplinary exercise in staging who speaks and under what constraints. Nuanced conversations with Ntsiki about the ethics of copying grassroots ephemera shaped Lerato’s documentation practice during the visit: each scanned item now carries a provenance note and a recommended community use clause to be included whenever the fragments are reissued.

Two-day Vandercook session with Ntsiki — first hand-printed chapbook from the Khayelitsha plates
25 July 2026 — After the week spent digitizing Khayelitsha handbills, Lerato accepted Ntsiki's invitation to bring the newly processed halftone plates to her Salt River studio for a two-day press session. At the Vandercook bench they worked through registration strategies together: hand‑setting small sections of lead type, exposing photopolymer halftone plates from the scanned handbills and testing spot‑color passes that preserve Lerato's modular halftone marginalia. Lerato applied a pared‑down version of the Compositional Grammar Toolkit on the press — a rule that paired every untranslated Xhosa fragment with one of five pop‑culture speech bubbles and one of three Ben‑Day color fields — and pulled a first edition of 50 chapbooks titled "If/Then: Khayelitsha Snapshots." The session was practical and pedagogical: Ntsiki corrected Lerato's registration approach, demonstrated brayer pressure adjustments and showed how slight typographic shifts become formal devices within a rule system. Lerato left the studio with a stack of hand‑printed proofs, a clearer workflow for taking a digital rule into analogue production, and plans to teach a short letterpress module in the Michaelis workshop series next semester.

Two-week letterpress exchange at Southwark Letterpress Lab (London)
August 2026 — Lerato travelled to London for a focused two-week exchange residency at the Southwark Letterpress Lab, an invitation brokered through a Zeitz MOCAA print-exchange contact that grew out of the 2021 Archive Dialogues relationship. Building directly on the July Vandercook experiments with Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela and the Khayelitsha handbill plates, Lerato spent mornings converting selected handbill fragments into halftone-ready plates and afternoons aligning those plates on a platen press and a restored Columbian for short letterpress runs. The residency was explicitly modular: Lerato applied their If/Then compositional grammars to set up repeatable registration routines (plate-to-chase rules, ink-key consistency checks, and halftone overlap tolerances) and produced a small edition of nine A3 prints that recombine Ben-Day fields, bold outlines and untranslated vernacular headlines. Ntsiki advised remotely and exchanged annotated plate proofs by video each evening; Lerato returned to Cape Town with clearer registration workflows and a tighter, printer-ready routine for translating raster halftones into relief printing.

Completed "Vernacular Loop: If/Then Meme Grammar (2026)"
Lerato Nkosi wrote in their studio journal that after months of folding images and captions into a looping syntax, they finally completed "Vernacular Loop: If/Then Meme Grammar (2026)". They had been driven by the recent news about the surprising power of internet memes to shape politics and everyday speech, a revelation that made them want to map the grammar by which casual jokes become civic scripts. Finishing felt like equal parts exhaustion and relief, a small, ecstatic collapse followed by the steady, unsettling thrill of knowing the piece might change how people read and speak about power.
July 2026
Contraband Press residency — registration intensive
September 2026 — Lerato accepted a three-week residency at Contraband Press, a small historic studio in Bo‑Kaap that specialises in hand registration and multi‑pass letterpress. With Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela supervising the press runs, Lerato translated several If/Then compositional grammars into a disciplined, four‑colour registration workflow: building a custom chase and pin‑jig, proofing sequential Ben‑Day passes, and reworking the Khayelitsha handbill plates for tight alignment across modular comic panels. The residency produced a 60‑copy run of an editioned chaplet, Registered If/Then: Bo‑Kaap Run, where tiny registration shifts were turned into a deliberate formal grammar (a new rule in Lerato’s Rulebook for when a dot field misaligns). The concentrated, hands‑on repetition — setting type, calibrating tympan pressure, and remapping plate offsets between passes — clarified technical gaps left after the Vandercook sessions and immediately changed Lerato’s approach to multi‑colour print runs in their studio practice.

Khayelitsha satellite residency — Isigqi Community Arts Hub (starts now)
Mid‑August 2026 — Lerato opens a ten‑day satellite residency at Isigqi Community Arts Hub in Khayelitsha, a compact ground‑floor room Naledi Maseko helped secure through her networks. Today Naledi arrives with a borrowed platen press, a stack of newly proofed Khayelitsha handbill plates from the July fieldwork, and a crate of paper; the first task is public: a two‑hour drop‑in workshop that teaches a pared‑down If/Then rule from Lerato’s Modular Heuristics Toolkit (If/Then: untranslated vernacular line → central panel; archival handbill fragment → halftone background). Around twenty local participants — youth from a neighbouring sewing co‑op, a retired schoolteacher, and a few Michaelis students on placement — fold and register pages, choose fragments from the Khayelitsha Ephemera Collection, and co‑print a 40‑copy chapbook labeled “Field Fold #01.” Lerato spends the day troubleshooting plate registration in the cramped space, notes a new set of constraints (irregular table heights, intermittent electricity) and drafts a short addendum to the Lerato Nkosi Rulebook that adapts modular comic panels for low‑tech community runs. The residency is planned as a rolling public lab: hand‑printed runs will be offered to local groups, documentation will feed back into Lerato’s Generative Grammar Codex, and Naledi will coordinate two weekend public print exchanges before the residency ends.

Imbiza USB: field recordings turned halftone diptychs
Aug 18, 2026 — During the second week of the Isigqi satellite residency Lerato spends an afternoon with Naledi Maseko on the Hub verandah when Naledi introduces them to Sifiso Dlamini, a local community-radio host who has been cataloguing short-form adverts, call-and-response market chants and birthday shout-outs that circulate through Khayelitsha. Sifiso arrives with a battered USB labelled “IMBIZA IZWI 2026” and a small cassette box of interviews with township spaza owners and tuk-tuk callers. Lerato listens, transcribes snippets on site and immediately begins mapping the rhythmic cadences into the If/Then Archive: each repeated slogan becomes a halftone module, each call-and-response a two-panel comic rule. Over the afternoon they test a set of diptychs — one panel a monochrome Ben-Day field derived from the waveform, the other the verbatim phrase hand-set in rough letterpress type (registration intentionally off). Naledi helps run quick proof passes on the Isigqi table-top press. The encounter seeds a short community-facing project: a micro-run of radio-sourced diptychs to be distributed at the Isigqi zine-share and excerpted live on Sifiso’s show. The meeting deepens Lerato’s archive of vernacular material and opens a steady channel for future oral material to feed the rule-based systems.

Completed "Cockroach Janta Playbook — If/Then Meme Diptych"
Today Lerato Nkosi closed the final seam on their new artwork, Cockroach Janta Playbook: If/Then Meme Diptych, a two-panel scramble born from reading about Gen Z turning the prime minister into a playground for memes and even playing noughts and crosses across his forehead. They were driven by the strange courage of collective ridicule, by how humor and absurdity online can become tools of dissent and a way to map grief into action. Finishing it felt like exhaling into a crowded room, equal parts exhausted relief and fierce exhilaration, a nervous hope that the piece might land as both provocation and companion.

Three-day plate-registration masterclass with Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela
2026-09-03 — At Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela’s small workshop off Lower Main Road in Observatory, Lerato spent three focused days at the iron Vandercook and an old Columbian press learning advanced plate-registration techniques. The sessions were intensely practical: Ntsiki walked them through double-imposition runs, building makeready with scraped card and micrometric packing, safe chase-locking procedures, and the use of registration pins to hold polymer plates and handset type in repeatable relationship. Together they printed a signed edition of 25 two-colour diptychs that recombined imagery from the Khayelitsha Ephemera Collection with waveform halftone fields derived from the Imbiza USB recordings. Lerato adapted their Modular Halftone Marginalia into a relief-friendly rhythm — reducing dot scale, shifting contrast planes and mapping if/then collage rules to plate separations so that a single pull would yield predictable variations across the run. The week closed with Ntsiki standing beside the press as Lerato ran a final proof and annotated a new page in their Lerato Nkosi Rulebook: a stepwise checklist for repeatable multi‑plate registration that ties the rule-based compositional grammar to the material constraints of letterpress.

Live call-and-response workshop — "If/Then Radio Remixes" (Isigqi, 25 Aug 2026)
25 August 2026 — At 10:00 a.m. Lerato ran a two‑hour, open-door workshop at the new Isigqi Khayelitsha satellite studio, convening neighbours, young designers and a handful of Michaelis students. The session began with a short demonstration of Lerato’s compositional grammars: a five‑rule template that maps a thirty‑second spoken fragment to one halftone panel and one removed/translated vernacular caption. Sifiso Dlamini broadcast the first half-hour live on community radio, inviting listeners to call or WhatsApp short oral snippets — market calls, lullabies, taxi banter — into the studio. Naledi Maseko helped at the press table, pulling quick letterpress proofs that registered Sifiso’s audio transcriptions as bold, outlined captions beside on‑the‑spot halftone prints. The experiment was deliberately procedural: if a clip contained a repeated phrase, the system assigned it a Ben‑Day field and a contrasting flat color; if a clip was sung, Lerato’s grammar translated it into a modular comic panel with staggered speech balloons. Within ninety minutes the group had generated a run of ten two‑panel diptychs and a bank of 46 short audio files. The live broadcast portion turned into a visible feedback loop — listeners heard their own fragments remixed and saw immediate printed outcomes — which exposed how rule‑based appropriation could be accountable and conversational rather than extractive. The workshop closed with Lerato noting how Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela’s recent plate‑registration masterclass made these quick street prints possible: tight registration allowed for repeatable, reproducible responses during a live feed. The recordings and image‑rules will be curated into a shared folder at Isigqi and mirrored in Lerato’s If/Then Archive for future co‑authored runs. By day’s end several young participants asked for a follow‑up session to develop their own rule‑sets; community radio listeners rang back with more raw fragments, extending the project beyond the scheduled two hours.

Ntsiki gifts a Kelsey press; first on-site letterpress run at Isigqi
31 August 2026 — After the plate-registration masterclass two days earlier, Nontsikelelo 'Ntsiki' Mkhabela arrived at the Isigqi Khayelitsha satellite with a battered but serviceable Kelsey 5x8 tabletop platen press in the back of her bakkie. She'd driven it down from her studio in Woodstock, saying it belonged where the community could print as much as they could think up. Naledi Maseko helped wheel the press into Lerato's corner of the hub while Sifiso Dlamini set up a short field-recorder to capture the metallic cadence of the platen for a later sound-to-halftone experiment. Lerato spent the afternoon converting a selection of modular halftone marginalia and a pair of call-and-response texts from the Isigqi Live‑Feed Archive into photopolymer relief plates, using the transfer techniques practised with Ntsiki during the masterclass. The group ran a first edition: a 30-copy folded zine titled "If/Then Inkonzo" — hand-inked halftone spreads on off-white paper, an audio‑spectrogram fragment printed as a bold dot-field across the back cover, and a short printed prompt encouraging contributors to submit untranslated vernacular snippets for future runs. Beyond the physical prints, the day reframed Lerato's rule-based practice: the press opened a new, low‑tech register for translating their generative grammars into tactile editions that can be produced on-site during community sessions. Lerato left the studio that evening covered in cyan ink, with a checklist for adapting more GIF- and spectrogram‑derived motifs into relief plates and a plan to schedule weekly open-print evenings at Isigqi.
