Unathi Mkonto

South African 1981- 

Unathi Mkonto is a Cape Town-based artist working with drawing, sculpture and installation. Mkonto is a self-taught artist and pursued a Bachelor in Architecture at Nelson Mandela University. He was also a design fellow at Architecture for Humanity in Johannesburg. Residencies that he has participated in include AVOID at the A4 Arts Foundation and Alma Martha, both in Cape Town, South Africa. Mkonto has experimented with performance art, most notably in the 7th season of mentorships at the Center For The Less Good Idea founded by William Kentridge. With a practice that sits at the juncture between art, design and architecture, Mkonto says, “I am always studying and looking at processes to humanize this historically apartheid inspired built environment.”
