Tuli Mekondjo (b. 1982, Angola)
is a self-taught Namibian artist based in Windhoek, Namibia. Her multimedia works honor her forebears, fertility, and continuity, while commenting on gendered struggle, intergenerational trauma, and displacement. Drawing on colonial and wartime photographic archives, her practice explores Namibian history and identity politics. Spirituality increasingly plays a role in her work, and Mekondjo extends her textured media into performance. A recipient of the DAAD Artist-in-Berlin Program in 2022, she was also shortlisted for the Norval Sovereign Africa Art Prize 2022/23. She has exhibited in multiple exhibitions and art fairs, including in Belgium, Côte d’Ivoire, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Namibia, Portugal, South Africa, the UK, and the USA. Her works are held in multiple international collections.

Zenaéca Singh (b. 2000, South Africa)
lives and works in Cape Town. Singh completed her MFA with distinction at the University of Cape Town’s Michaelis School of Fine Art, where she’d also received multiple awards for her BFA. Her work explores the complex legacy of South Africa’s sugar economy, investigating its connections to migration, colonialism, labor exploitation, and the gendered dynamics of the domestic sphere. Her participation in multiple exhibitions and art fairs in South Africa includes Cape Town’s Slave Lodge and Investec Art Fair and Guns & Rain in Johannesburg. Her work is in several private collections, and in 2024 she was commissioned to make a sculpture for the new FENIX Museum of Migration in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which forms part of the museum’s permanent exhibit titled All Directions (2025).
