About the artist

Nabeeha Mohamed ’s very personal work grapples with the complexities and contradictions of identity and class privilege in post-Apartheid South Africa. Her identity as a woman of colour, hushed during her childhood years to assimilate to the white society and culture she grew up in, is now celebrated in her paintings where bold colours, and identity take centre stage. Her paintings offer a tension when these celebrations of identity are intersected with a playful critique of the capitalist economy and class privilege from which she benefits.
