Meet artist Simnikiwe Buhlungu in conversation with Christina Lehnert, curator of GIBCA#13 a hand that is all our hands combined.

Simnikiwe Buhlungu (b. 1995, South Africa, lives and works in Amsterdam, Netherlands) is interested in knowledge production(s) – how they are produced, by whom and what avenues of distribution can look like. By navigating these questions and their inexhaustible potential answers, Buhlungu locates and approaches socio-historical and everyday phenomena via research-based methodologies. Through this, she maps points out of cognisance and the endless layers of knowledge production.   

Buhlungu completed a two year residency program at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in 2022. This year she has held a solo exhibition at Kunstinstituut Melly, Rotterdam, and her work has been shown at context and institutions including: Chisenhale Gallery, London; Kunst im Tunnel, Düsseldorf, Ellen de Bruijne PROJECTS, Amsterdam; Kunsthalle Bern; Association for Visual Arts Gallery, Cape Town; the 59th Venice Biennale; South London Gallery and Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven.
