Lulama Wolf (b. 1993) is a visual artist who lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her process involves smearing, scraping, and employing deep pigment techniques inspired by vernacular architecture. These techniques often incorporate patterns traditionally created by women to decorate traditional African homes. She was named the finalist of the Emergence Art Prize in 2020, and has presented in notable exhibitions including The Right to Ease, The Breeder Gallery, Athens (2022) and Common Efforts, Eighteen Gallery, Copenhagen (2023), followed by solo exhibitions titled Ayakha: Indlela Yokuxola at THK Gallery, Cape Town (2023) and I’m Not Governed by My Flesh, Affinity Gallery, Lagos (2025).

Karla Nixon (b. 1990) is a visual artist based in Durban, South Africa, whose practice draws primary impetus from direct material exploration, with paper at its core. She constructs images and objects responding to her surrounding environments - urban, domestic, and natural by hand-cutting, tearing, sculpting, and reassembling. Her work is grounded in an ongoing investigation of how colour, texture, and fragmentation operate as a language of presence shaping sensorial and emotional encounters.Her artworks are held in private collections in South Africa, Lebanon, Australia, Spain, and Holland, as well as public collections, including the Durban Art Gallery, the National Art Bank, and the Leridon Collection. Nixon has also been a finalist in both the Sasol and ABSA art awards.

Tshepiso Moropa (b. 1995) is a self-taught collage artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa.Moropa’s work begins in fragments: archival images, memories, folktales, and dreams, which she assembles into hand-crafted collages that feel at once ancient and futuristic, personal and collective. Her practice increasingly extends beyond the flat surface into immersive installations, video art, and sculptural forms such as peep-boxes and dioramas. These intimate and exploratory spaces act as portals into poetic and emotive archives where the past and present are in conversation.Moropa has received significant accolades, including the Out of Africa Award (2022), Contemporary African Photography Prize (2024) and the V&A Parasol Foundation Prize for Women in Photography (2025). She has garnered notable international attention, and has been included in presentations at Paris Photo, with Michael Hoppen Gallery, in From the Ground Up, Galleri Image, Denmark; and at 1-54 London with THK Gallery.
