Nandipha Yanta’s artwork focuses on self-care for Black women.
Johannesburg-based Nandipha Yanta, a Design Indaba Emerging Creative for 2022, is hoping to pursue a Master’s in Fine Art. The painter and photographer focuses on representing Black women practising radical self-care and prioritising their mental health - a unique approach in contemporary artwork. Design Indaba asked her about her work processes and influences.
Nandipha is excited to continue with her painting journey and research more about Black mental health and representation.
"As scary and unpredictable as life can be, I can honestly say that I have a lot to look forward to", she says
