Veto Collective is an art collective formed by Buqaqawuli Nobakada, Chuma Adam, and Sichumile Adam. Established in 2021, within the Fine Arts Department at the University of the Witwatersrand, the collective emerged from a shared period of study during their Honours in Fine Art, where each developed their individual practices before coming together through a collaborative approach.

Working across printmaking, publishing, and installation, Veto Collective’s practice is shaped by an ongoing engagement with image-making and social commentary. Their collaborative process has been informed by the guidance of artists and writers such as Gabrielle Goliath and Charlene Khan, grounding their work in dialogue, experimentation, and collective authorship.

In addition to their studio practice, the collective has undertaken independent publishing projects, including The Little Black Book for Girls (2022), produced in collaboration with Pulp Paperworks at Victoria Yards.

Veto Collective presents its debut exhibition at this year’s Latitudes Art Fair, marking the first public presentation of work produced collaboratively as a collective. This body of work reflects an evolving shared practice, foregrounding both process and exchange as central to their way of working.
