This space has been created as a platform for myself to create spaces and tell the story of those spaces. The in-betweeners and the underdogs.

I would also be telling the story of existing landscapes and in so doing hopefully help to usher in transformation of those environments because lord knows we need it in this country. Not only do we need transformation of our social spaces, we also need transformation of representation. I am not only telling my story, but also the story of those who look like me, feel like me and live like me.

Impilo in isiXhosa can mean the state of living, lifestyle, or your health. In my last residency, Uphawu Lomfazi (the mark of a woman) I explored the cultural markers of womanhood that exist and can be explored in the development of Nguni iconography.

For my next exploration, in responding to current times, I wish to focus on the cultural markers that can be used to indicate states of living, health and wellbeing. In our collective conscious, we are preoccupied with how we cover & shield ourselves from our invisible enemy. I will be exploring themes of isolation, protection, life, death & fear through the mediums of women’s garments, Bantu symbols old and new applied in textile design, film making and performance. The focus on women, the bearers of life is especially relevant, as their bodies and the way they are marked & covered has been and is a site of conflict. The state of life & womanhood in a country like ours is especially precarious, where we face not only a possibly deadly virus, but the threat to life as faced by those whose lives are behind the stats telling the story of a rise in gender based violence.
