Thabiso’s work is not just art — it is lineage, memory, and the future of Zurich’s cultural fabric. His grandmother’s painted walls carried the geometry Europe later claimed as “modernism.” His canvases today carry those invisible legacies forward, while Botaki Factory, housed in a UBS building at Albisriederplatz, transforms unutilised space into a living gallery month after month.

Markets have histories. Aesthetics have power. And geopolitics are embedded in the movement of objects, people, and narratives—whether explicitly declared or subtly encoded.
