Mmabatho Thobejane by Saleen Gomani. Altar Session for Black Healing in Scorched Landscapes is a continuation of Black Female Form—an ongoing artistic project by Sarah Nakiito. May 2025.

Mmabatho Thobejane (she/they) is a South African cultural worker and sangoma based in Stockholm, Sweden. She is a conduit to ancestors who, through pono ya moya, an African Traditional Health practice, provide spiritual guidance to those who seek their services. As a curator who is a sangoma, Mmabatho creates spaces that can connect us with ancient wisdom and guidance that rumbles quietly but consistently, waiting to be noticed and aligned with.
