Usha Seejarim is an award-winning visual artist and sculptor, and is The Centre for the Less Good Idea’s invited artist for Season 6.

With a longstanding fascination around the concepts of work, labour, functionality, domesticity and more, Seejarim’s work explores, amongst other things, the gritty nature of everyday labour, the use and value of tools, and the daily rituals that keep the household, the city, and the world turning.

Season 6 sees Seejarim presenting a series of grass broom heads, installed as a collection of vespiaries or apertures and speaking to the idea of homes, nests, or dwellings, as well as alluding to the many men and women of Johannesburg who craft and sell hand-made brooms in the city.
