On Stage Design Indaba 2013: Nicholas Hlobo

At Design Indaba Conference 2013 artist Nicholas Hlobo descended onto the stage in a white cocoon. In an evocative performance comprising music performed by himself and two others, and video images on the screen behind him, Hlobo took the audience on a journey.

This journey was the story of Hlobo’s life and work, his influences, his culture, and a process of unravelling through which he creates his own world and discovers unknown truths about himself.

Nicholas Hlobo is a South African artist, fast gaining an international reputation for his experimental use of materials.
