- Steve Bandoma,
graduated with a degree in Fine Art from the « Academie des Beaux-Arts » of Kinshasa. He exhibited at Iziko National Museums of Cape Town in 2005, facilitated the Spier Contemporary 2008 mural project workshops as well as represented the Visual Art Industrie (DEDT) at the Design Indaba 2008. This year, Bandoma has been selected for the 3rd AAW International Youth Salon in Egypt, and three months residency at the Greatmore Studios in 2008.

 Art Practice,
Steve Bandoma employs various materials that have specific qualities and characteristics. Batting, rope, raffia, rubber and found objects are all but some of the materials employed in his work. He sews raffia and batting, install forms in space, performs and sometimes does video art. The semi-transparency of batting allows the artist to be both absent and present while remaining unidentified. All these concerns are sometimes conveyed in a humorous manner.
