Q. Who are the three people who inspire you right now in 2017 as she stands?
A. Pumla Dineo Gqola, for telling it like it is. Milisuthando Bongela, current arts editor for the Mail and Guardian, for using her power where it is most important; macheting pathways for us where it never existed. And, my sister, Kim Windvogel, for showing me many sides of activism.
Q.What other angles will your future art be addressing?
A. Sex is very multi-layered and I will definitely be thinking of it from a violence angle, as that is the angle we are most familiar with in South Africa.
Q.What would you tell your 20-year old self concerning your artistic creations over the years?
A. I’ve always been the LOUDEST so would not tell her to be louder, might tell her to listen more.
Q.What advice would you give other young, female, aspiring artists?
A. PLOT PLAN PLOT PLAN PLAN PLAN PLAN and know when to JUMP.
