Founded in 2017 by Khumoetsile Seamogano, Girl Gone Authentic interprets culture and preserves knowledge through attentive, considered ways of living.
Offerings. Commissions. Collaborations.
Cultural Readings:
Private interpretive sessions for creative leaders, founders, and institutions working with culture, craft, or public-facing narratives.
Cultural Readings assess what a body of work, collection, or project is communicating materially, emotionally, and culturally, offering clarity before it enters the public sphere.
Writing and Editorial:
Essays, long-form writing, and commissioned texts that situate objects, collections, or practices within their cultural, historical, and emotional context.
Writing translates observation into clarity, naming what is happening and why it matters, beyond trend or surface aesthetics.
Objects and Publications:
In-house books and objects preserve knowledge, memory, and craft with intention.
Each piece is designed to last, to be handled, and to carry insight into the hands of those who value considered work.
Projects and Spaces
The Garden:
A space for gathering and exchange. Conversations, meals, film, literature, and shared practices rooted in care, presence, and continuity.
The Museum:
A living archive of objects, materials, indigenous craft, and cultural practices. Presented as digital exhibitions, The Museum holds and preserves material culture with precision and respect, resisting erasure and simplification.

Ongoing cultural readings on shifts in craft, material culture, and contemporary life. The Signal translates what is emerging, what is eroding, and what is being recalibrated.
