Phumelele Kunene is a South African curator and creative entrepreneur. With a background in photography, film, and television production, her practice bridges art, culture, and social commentary. She draws from her experience as a visual storyteller to create thought-provoking exhibitions that amplify diverse narratives and interrogate the intersections of identity, memory, and belonging within African contexts.

Her curatorial practice is driven by a commitment to creating exhibitions that not only raise awareness but also serve as powerful commentaries on pressing social issues. At the core of her approach lies a deep interest in identity, self-knowledge, and the search for purpose within our shared human experience.

Through her work, Phumelele seeks to go beyond aesthetics—to move the soul, challenge perception, and invite audiences to see the world from a renewed perspective. Each exhibition is crafted to leave a lasting impression that resonates long after the viewing experience, inspiring reflection and transformation.
