The person on the right wears a black, sheer top and smiles brightly. Colorful lights and motion blur create a dynamic, energetic atmosphere.

Mzamo Nondlwana is a queer, non-binary performing artist originally from Johannesburg, South Africa. Their work focuses on marginalised bodies and an attempt to subvert colonial fantasy. In 2006, they completed their dance education at MID (South Africa) and in 2014 SEAD (Austria). They worked with Michikazu Matsune, Doris Uhlich, Magdalena Chowaniec, Needcompany and Michael Turinsky. They are also one half of Bicha Boo Collective, an audio-visual performative collective active since 2017.
