Luyanda Zindela
Born in 1991, Luyanda Zindela is a visual artist based in Durban, South Africa. He completed a B.Tech Degree in Fine Art in 2012, and a Master’s Degree in Fine Art in 2019 at the Durban University of Technology. He was the recipient of the ABSA L’atelier Merit Award in 2014 and became a fellow of the Ampersand Foundation’s artist’s-in-residency programme in New York in 2015. In 2019 Zindela was the recipient of the runner up prize in the Sasol New Signatures competition. Zindela has curated a number of group exhibitions locally, most notably A Change in the Narrative: group exhibition of Gerard Sekoto Award Winners at the Absa Bank Gallery in Johannesburg in 2017 and, in 2020, An_Unfurling, part of the Young Artists’ Project of the KwaZulu-Natal Society of Arts (KZNSA Gallery) in Durban.
