Nomusa Makhubu is a young and talented artist born in 1984.
She received in 2006 the Gerard Sekoto Award of the year’s most promising young artist. This award was initiated in collaboration with Absa, the French Embassy, the French Institute of South Africa (IFAS) and the Alliance Française.
The prize included a sojourn at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, as well as airfare, and an exhibition tour in South Africa. This tour starts in Johannesburg and will continue for the next few months throughout the Alliance Française network.
The name of this exhibition is Iso Eliphandliwe.
"It will be comprised of images that disfigure the self-portrait while trying to re-place it to an identifiable axis. There is usage of old (South) African photography. My self-portrait becomes lost within images that have centred debates about the black female body within constructs of culture and socialisation" (Nomusa).
