About The Creative

Nombuso Bhorholo is a young visual artist, creative writer, public art performer, and activist, who lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa. In 2012, Bhorholo studied film at the Central Johannesburg College Crown Mines Campus. In the following year, she enrolled with Market Photo Workshop to enhance her cinematography skills. Bhorholo received a  scholarship to study multimedia at the Academy of Digital Arts, also known as Friends of Design, in 2016. The year thereafter, she worked with the Sisonke organisation as an artist-activist for sex workers. 

Bhorholo captures Joburg’s infamous urban jungle and grey areas in her black-and-white photo series, ‘Spaces’. The underbelly of the city is inhabited by shadows and broken souls living on the fault lines of this unforgiving universe. ‘Spaces’ is a lucid and passionate tale of resilience shining through the gaze of a young woman storyteller.
