Nontokozo Tshabalala also known as Future_of_Brown (F.O.B) is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, ”afrofuturist”, speaker and designer. Born and raised in Standerton, South Africa, she uses her work as an avenue for posing deeper questions about her identity and the black experience wherever she goes. Inspired by her nephew, Siyamthanda (Ncufi), she writes and creates from a place of curiosity and instinct often using colour, collage, song and poetry to express her thoughts. Tshabalala is the co-founder of Mam’Gobozi Design Factory, a design studio celebrating the Afrikan identity through design and art. Within her vast practice, she’s also co-curated her first show called ”Neither Here Nor There” (2020) which showed at Konsthall Bla Stallet and done work for Facebook Africa and The Africa Centre (London) and Future Brown Space (Sweden). Her work has been shown at The Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA) Extended, Malmö Konsthall, and The National Museum of World Culture (Gothenburg) and Röda Sten Konsthall (Gothenburg). She has recently been announced as one of the winners of the Mail & Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans. The list aims to recognise and reward youth who have created resilient, entrepreneurial and robust solutions, actively shaping South Africa and playing a pivotal role in its future.
Lyssna! är en digital samtalsserie som arrangeras av Svenska Tecknares sektion för grafisk form/design. Lyssna! startades under 2023 med ambitionen att öka kunskapen om grafisk design som yrkesområde och vara en lättillgänglig och digital samtalsserie öppen för alla intresserade av området.
