SPI Portarit Award Judges
03 Vulindlela Yoni
Vulindlela Nyoni was born in Chilimanzi, Zimbabwe in 1976 and attained a Bachelor of Arts in the Fine Arts from the then University of Natal in 1998 and a Masters in fine Arts from the now University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2006. His Masters thesis was entitled “Representations of ‘other’ in selected South African artworks: Remembering the black male body”.
Nyoni is a Lecturer at the Department of Visual Art at the University of Stellenbosch after lecturing at UKZN since 2001. His move to Stellenbosch was prompted by his need to pursue good quality teaching and to challenge himself with new research opportunities. Apart from being a practicing artist, Nyoni also lectures in printmaking and drawing. His main interests lie in the politics of representation and self-representation as exploration of personal narrative through print media. He has shown widely on a national level and continues to expand his international profile. He continues to make his own work at any opportunity he has.
