kea Mosienyane

born and raised in botswana, currently an MPhil Candidate at the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.

She also holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of British Columbia, Canada. Keamogetse’s writing pursuits are influenced by the process of encounter and duration — through memory, conversation, experience and research. Keamogetse’s research interests include thinking with infrastructures of landing for migrants and the urban politics of pleasure and discard across Southern African geographies. She enjoys revelling in mundane moments —laughing with her family, going to the beach with friends, dancing and attempting to bike. Lastly, she finds consolation in mutually lamenting the frequent heat waves and harsh sun of South-East Botswana with neighbours.
