A conversation with Lhola Amira & Brook Andrew

Lhola Amira talks about their works in NIRIN, 22nd Biennale of Sydney with Artistic Director Brook Andrew.
Lhola Amira is an interdisciplinary artist whose work translates into photography, video and installation. Amira defines THEIR practice as ‘appearance’ – a term that draws from African Nguni spiritualism. As part of THEIR work as a black, queer artist, Amira conceives THEIR existence in plural – plural existences in one body – as well as an understanding of the Zulu notion of Ukuvela, which contextualises an individuals’ existence in relation to collective historical and future narratives.
