Nonhlanhla Yende (b. Johannesburg, South African,2000) is a mixed-media artist. She describes her practice as a re-representation of her identity as a young, black woman. The mixed media art works are inspired by growing up in Alexandra, her home where she got to experience the different narratives of being a woman and heteronormative norms in African traditions concerning the female body. Yende explores the intersectionality of being a black woman. Her works interrogates social norms in society and gender. She also tries to depict the daily lives of the people she is surrounded by.
