Founded and edited by Khumoetsile Seamogano in 2017, Girl Gone Authentic began as a digital archive of heritage craft, indigenous knowledge, and independent creatives working in relationship with the earth. The practice has since evolved into a cultural research and editorial studio exploring ideas, materials, people, and places through a curious and considered perspective.

Its work brings together research, writing, collecting, and creative collaboration, drawing on poetry, ancient wisdom, material culture, and the natural world. Stories, images, objects, and ideas are gathered and interpreted through an appreciation for provenance, craftsmanship, and the connections between seemingly disparate things.

Girl Gone Authentic maintains an enduring interest in what is overlooked, meaningful, and worth remembering.
