We live among objects, materials, images, rituals and ideas whose histories are often obscured by their contemporary use. Girl Gone Authentic creates the space to look closely.

Founded in 2017, Girl Gone Authentic began in South East Asia as a digital archive of heritage craft, indigenous knowledge and independent creatives working in relationship with the earth.

Today, led by Khumoetsile Seamogano and rooted in Southern Africa, the work continues as an evolving inquiry into our relationship with the earth, each other, and the things we choose to make, inherit and consume. Through research, writing and collecting, Girl Gone Authentic traces provenance, craftsmanship, memory and meaning, bringing context and deeper questions to things that might otherwise be overlooked.

The Signal and the Museum offer deep reading.
The Atelier offers collaboration.
