Kwazokuhle Phakathi (b.1998) is a visual artist from Umlazi, Durban. His work addresses issues of identity, belonging and space. He aims to explore the complex duality of black queer life in relation to ‘community’ and the personal journey of self-discovery, set in the political landscape that is the South African township. His work is a response to an inner dialogue examining elements of manhood, intimacy, femininity and freedom. Images from Kwazokuhle’s ongoing projects Star!bani? and In The Vastness, as well as Almost Everything Has Happened (2022-23) are included in the exhibition.
