Google Arts & Culture Launches Online Retrospective of Dr. Esther Mahlangu

Google Arts & Culture has published the first online retrospective of South African artist Dr. Esther Mahlangu, timed to her 91st birthday, with more than 45 curated stories and a rich archive of her art, life and legacy. Because archives held nothing from before 1980, the team used AI to visually recreate her undocumented memories, generating still images and then using Veo to turn them into videos. The exhibition was curated with institutions including the British Museum, Iziko Museums of South Africa and Serpentine.
