Zandile (Zandi) Makroti is a multidisciplinary storyteller, qualified production designer, aspiring curator, creative director, and certified UX/UI designer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her work is deeply rooted in personal experience, spiritual growth, and the quiet power of becoming, reflecting a journey of self-discovery through art.
Working across film photography, fine art materials, fabric, performance, and installation, Zandi builds visual worlds that explore womanhood, ancestry, and identity. Each piece is a fragment of her journey, a mirror of emotional, creative, and spiritual transformation.
She has exhibited at the Open Window Institute and Kameraz, and was nominated for the Pangolin Awards at Open Window for Best Production Design Project. Her background in production design and user experience informs a practice that is both visually immersive and emotionally resonant, bridging the disciplines of film, design, and fine art to tell stories that honour where she comes from, who she is, and who she is still becoming.
