Muofhe Manavhela
No.2 recipient March 2021
Muofhe Manavhela is a multi-disciplinary visual artist based in Johannesburg. Muofhe has taken her place as a social commentor by using her art to explore the positioning of the Black women in the landscape of a society that underestimates them.
Her work looks to deconstructing current and harmful narratives, and reconstructing our perceptions of Black women. She takes advantage of the versatile mediums she works with to articulate mediums she works with to articulate themes of sexuality, gender, race and the body.
The artist in residence wil complete a month-long residency, where they will produce and install new work for exhibition at Bubblegum Gallery in Braamfontein.
