Simnikiwe Buhlungu (1995, Johannesburg. Lives in Johannesburg and Amsterdam) is an artist whose research-based practice spans video, sound, installation, and text. Her work investigates how knowledge is produced, by whom, and under what conditions it is disseminated, reflecting on the ecologies and dynamics that shape these processes. One of her strategies involves analyzing languages and the connections between messages. Buhlungu participated in the 59th Venice Biennale and in group exhibitions at the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), Iziko South African National Gallery (Cape Town), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), and Grazer Kunstverein (Graz). Her first solo exhibition was held at Kunsthalle Bern.
