Read more on Same Mdluli’s essay on the SA Pavilion catalogue that explores visual art as a language titled: “A case of an art language through the work of South African Artist Mawande Ka Zenzile”.

“Ka Zenzile’s oeuvre thus becomes visual anecdotes that draw attention to how he is not only working with aesthetics, which he poignantly points out are part of how he grew up in formulating his own genealogy, background and memory. Ka Zenzile is not only creating an identity for himself through an artistic expression that points to how one does not only view themselves in their environment, but also much like wa Thiongo describes, through a way of questioning one’s perspective”

Dr Same Mdluli is the Standard Bank Gallery manager and chief curator. She holds a PhD in Art History; an MA in Arts and Culture Management from the university of the Witwatersrand and a B-Tech in Fine Arts from the University fo Johannesburg.

It was a whirlwind of emotions listening to them speak as I realized the gaps and the hard hitting realities they face. I have committed to holding their hands for the next year to assist with the bottlenecks. I cannot do it alone and I’m so grateful to the big sisters who have put up their hands . I am excited to be handing over these remarkable women to different mentors and big sisters in the industry to bring meaningful change and impact to each of their journeys. While I take some and monitor everyone’s 3 step process.
These young women are writers, directors, we have a budding DOP, an editor and up coming producers.....
means we dream big, we identify the bottle necks, we apply our collective thinking and we share our resources to help our sisters find a resolve so they can get their break!
We all deserve a break!
