Twin Mosia is a South African museum curator, heritage practitioner, and cultural activist whose work reimagines how local histories are preserved, exhibited, and shared. Rooted in community and landscape, his practice sits between contemporary art, memory work, and museums. He is the founder of Elandskop Outdoor Museum and Rhino Heritage Park in Mamafubedu, Petrus Steyn, an evolving open-air museum and cultural space dedicated to safeguarding everyday histories, local heritage, and overlooked narratives of the Free State. Conceived as both a heritage site and a living archive, Rhino Heritage Park engages land, objects, and oral histories to create spaces of reflection, education, and dialogue.
Mosia’s work extends into curatorial research and digital knowledge production, where he uses platforms such as Wikipedia to document artists, cultural workers, and historical figures who have been marginalised or erased from mainstream archives. Through exhibitions, reenactments, community murals, edit-a-thons, and workshops, he explores themes of land, displacement, labor, and historical justice, often linking past struggles to contemporary cultural expression. Driven by a commitment to accessibility and public memory, Twin Mosia continues to build spaces—both physical and digital—where history is not only preserved, but actively questioned, reclaimed, and reimagined. Mosia is currently a Museum Educator at the War Museum in Bloemfontein, and advises the MEC of Free State Sports, Arts and Culture as part of the Free State Provincial Heritage Resources Authority.
