We are proud to announce Khanyisa Agnes Brancon as the 2025 Blessing Ngobeni Art Prize Award Winner. Khanyisa is a multi-disciplinary artist exploring mediums of expression namely Printmaking, Photography, and Installation through an interdisciplinary approach that consists of the use of textiles, thus prioritising materiality throughout her work. The manifestation of labour and leisure, maternal lineage, and the black experience are grand themes addressed throughout her work as well as the exploration of the contemporary feminist approach that calls to attention the intersection of representation needed for the kind of black women who reflect on personal and family-related histories. Khanyisa will embark on a three-month art residency which will culminate in a solo exhibition at Everard Read Gallery in Cape Town.
