Curating Fantastic

Nomusa Makhubu is an art historian and artist. Her current research focuses on African popular culture, photography, interventionism, performance art and socially engaged art. She lectures Art History and Visual Culture at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.

Fantastic is primarily an exhibition of photography, video and performance art. It is an on-going project that grew from an interest in video-film, Nollywood particularly. The project seeks to re-ignite critical thought about the concept of the ‘fantastic’ as one of the crucial ways of comprehending the surreal qualities of the present.
