Lweendo Humakoma on The Jazz Standard with Brenda Sisane
Loading player...
Lweendo Humakoma is an art curator, a DEI designer, and a cultural weaver whose imprint can be felt across institutions such as the Javett Art Centre and beyond. Her practice asks more of us - more depth, more honesty, more courage and it opens doors for communities to enter the art world on their own terms.
We sit with her to explore the nooks and crannies of the curatorial arena, the labour of artivism for pan-African curators, and the responsibility that comes with shaping cultural ecosystems. What does it mean to hold space for stories that were once marginalised? How do you soften rigid institutions without sacrificing truth? And what does it look like to curate with a heart anchored in community?
