Google launches online archive of Esther Mahlangu's life and art

Esther Mahlangu's life and art is launched on Google Arts & Culture, curated by Dr. Nontobeko Ntombela to mark her 91st birthday. The project includes over 45 stories, archival materials, and AI-generated recreations of her early childhood memories. It fills gaps in documented history by reconstructing her formative years using personal narratives and synthetic memory technology, with collaboration from institutions including Art of Contemporary Africa and Iziko Museums.
