At London’s Frieze Masters 2026, Botswana’s Peter Mabeo and Beullah Serema feature a collection of handcrafted amulets combining diamonds with traditional basketry, pottery, and woodcarving. The works, created in collaboration with local artisans, celebrate Botswana’s craftsmanship and natural materials.
