Born 1995 in Johannesburg, lives in Johannesburg.
Simnikiwe's work has existed in a variety of forms though a number of exhibitions and spaces.Through print and text-based mediums and often taking sensory, video and installation-based forms, her interest in navigating through the personal, transgenerational and socio-historical narratives presents itself as a complex web of [re]imagined engagements surrounding issues such as the positionality of the aforementioned lived experiences in relation to language and knowledge production.
Simnikiwe obtained her BA in Fine Art from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.She is a member of the Johannesburg-based collective Title in Transgression. Recent projects through the collective include Mangolo, presented at the I’m not Who You think I’m not #10 public programme at the 10th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art.
