"ILIZWE LIFILE is a tactile exploration of the aspects of cultural history kwaXhosa within South African political history that intersect with my own lived experience. Through drawings, installations, sculptures and video, I explore how cultural, social and political narratives within the South African post-apartheid landscape are negotiated." from Abstract, pg.19
