Kuln’Zu (b.1998) is a Mozambican artist and scholar who works from Nairobi, Kenya. Their practice centres around photography, collage and writing. Kuln’Zu explores queerness and tender representations of queer intimacy and masculinities.

They earned their B.A. in Africana Studies from Pomona College, and is currently pursuing the MSc in African Studies from University of Oxford. Their research interest is in queer urban cultural production, exploring the interaction between creative practice and everyday practices of mobility.

Kuln’Zu, in research and craft, considers imagining and articulating queer futures and livable lives; summarized as ‘afroqueer futurity’. Their practice culminates as a constellation of methods that address the human experience of belonging to the body, to a place and to each other.
