Sizwe Sibisi

(b 1986, South Africa. Lives and works in Pietermaritzburg)

Sizwe Sibisi is a self-taught artist; working primarily with textiles. He sources fabrics from friends and neighbours - usually old; tattered clothes; which he then deconstructs and stitches onto larger-scale fabric works. His recent work is a celebration of non-binary groups at pride marches. The colourful; collaged textile panels express their joyful; festive and lively carnivalesque character.
