‘It’s Not Going to Get Better’ is crafted as response to a wave of global electoral fever. Focusing on the 2024 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.

Through the exhibition’s title, drawn from “Remorseless”, a rap song by Billy Woods, Makepe captures a mood that reflects the murky and shifting nature of the oppression faced by younger generations.
