A collaborative project between Wanås Konst Pedagogik and Fryshuset Östra Göinge. This multilayered workshop was themed around female role models, symbolism and empowerment. It took place in a small Swedish town called Broby. This dynamic group of young women, teenagers and mothers, consisted of both immigrants and locals.
I worked alongside Malin Gustavsson & Elin Magnusson from Wanås Konst. We created 2 evening workshop sessions with the group, consisting of drawing exercises, pattern making and personal symbol development. The original drawings were scanned and then digitally collaged by Berlin/Stockholm based artist Maria Bajt. Creating the composition and workshop, we spent a day together painting a group mural in the Fryshuset Östra Göinge, community youth centre.

I am a South African Multidisciplinary visual artist. I live a rather nomadic life. I am currently based in Europe, between Belgium, France and the Netherlands. My practice has many languages. I am a maker, a narrative creator, a teacher, a philosophical thinker, a decontextualizer of objects, one who draws, listens, performs, sculpts, paints, writes. My BA major was sculpture, sound, performance & installation. I have been freelancing as a muralist since 2004. I work as a curator, workshop facilitator, project manager and have participated in numerous group shows, both nationally and internationally. I am represented by Cape Town based agency SJ Artists and have been working as a co-curator and artist in residence at the Nirox Foundation since 2017. While many of my commissions based works exist in the corporate realm, I am shifting my focus to projects and workshops that are collaborative, community based or have a social impact attributes.
