Atang Tshikare (b. 1980, Bloemfontein, South Africa) is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the worlds of street art, sculptural furniture, functional art, and fine art sculpture. From his early influences through the visual storytelling of his father, an anti-Apartheid activist and illustrator, Tshikare developed a distinctive style that critiques political corruption and social inequalities.

In 2010, he founded Zabalazaa Designs, collaborating with local artists and working on notable commissions such as Chimurenga Magazine, Adidas Originals, BMW, MTV Base, Belvedere Vodka, and Nando’s. His work has been extensively exhibited by Southern Guild gallery (2012-2020) and has featured at prominent international events, including Design Miami/Basel with Dior and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

His exhibitions include the Investec Cape Town Art Fair, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, PAD London, and Design Days Dubai. Tshikare's art emerges from dynamic negotiations between urban contemporary art and traditional Southern African cultural heritage, deeply rooted in personal experiences and an intuitive understanding of primal matter. His recent works reflect a growing engagement with global art discourse, exemplified by his 2021 show dedicated to his firstborn son, Peo.

With a practice that embraces a visionary African identity within a global contemporary art language, Tshikare continues to shape and influence the contemporary art and design landscape. His accolades and international recognition mark him as one of South Africa's leading contemporary artists.

Neemo Mungai is a Kenyan artist working across photography and digital collage. Her practice is one of self-investigation, moving through the family photographs, archival documents and personal records to give image and form to the things she is working to understand, the cost of belonging to a family, a culture, a history. Her body of work forms an ongoing archive of inheritance: what is carried, what is contested, and what is finally claimed.

She explores the complex and raw emotions of youth and angst, as well as themes of identity, awareness, and meaning in the contemporary African age. Her work is a captivating blend of vulnerability and strength, capturing the essence of her subjects as they navigate their place in society. With a unique eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, she sees her art as a voice for herself and as a medium for creating dialogue with viewers of her work.
