   Experience the art and legacy of Dr. Esther Mahlangu

   Google Arts & Culture has launched the first online retrospective of South African artist Dr. Esther Mahlangu, timed to her 91st birthday, featuring more than 45 curated stories and an archive of her art, life and legacy. Curator Nontobeko Ntombela describes using AI, including Veo, to visually recreate Mahlangu's undocumented memories from age 10 until her first documented works in 1980, in collaboration with Google DeepMind, the Google Arts & Culture Lab and Domestic Data Streamers. The exhibition was curated with partners including Art of Contemporary Africa, Iziko Museums of South Africa, the British Museum, the Jean Pigozzi Collection, the National Museum of Women in the Arts and Serpentine, and is available at goo.gle/esther-mahlangu.
