Simnikiwe Buhlungu (1995, ZA) is an artist from Johannesburg, South Africa and currently based in Amsterdam. Interested in knowledge production[s] - how it is produced, by whom and how it is disseminated - Buhlungu locates socio-historical and everyday phenomena by navigating these questions and their inexhaustible potential answers via research-based methodologies. Through this, she maps points of cognisance which situate various layers of awareness as reverberated ecologies. Lately, she has been listening to punk and djelis, thinking about geologic burps and attempting to distribute publications via Simunye Resource Works (a publishing house that is forever yet-to-exist).
As of January 2024, Buhlungu has been tutoring in the Graphic Design Department at KABK, working with the 4th year students on their graduation projects and concept development. In addition to this, her role as a tutor extends to organizing workshops in the department.
