  'It's Not Going to Get Better' by Thero Makepe

  Vela Projects is proud to present It’s Not Going to Get Better, Thero Makepe's debut gallery exhibition.
  
  'It’s Not Going to Get Better' is crafted as response to a wave of global electoral fever. 2024 was a year which saw more than 100 countries, and approximately half of the world’s population, heading to national polls. Focusing on the Botswana General Elections, Makepe interprets the tenor on the ground of a country that is often held as the poster child of a peaceful African democracy. Despite promises of freedom and opportunity, in this late-capitalist moment, the lead-up to the election seemed bleak.
  
  The exhibition is on display from 13 December 2024 to 31 January 2025.
