Gcobisa Gee Yako

Gcobisa “Gee” Yako is a visionary director and dynamic archivist. Her passion for storytelling was ignited during South Africa’s Fees Must Fall movement, and she wields her camera with purpose to document culture and challenge narratives. Her work, from capturing Johannesburg's subcultures to her Netflix-distributed short film Mamlambo, is a powerful exploration of how the past echoes in the present. Gee doesn't just document culture—she helps shape its legacy.
