Biography

Helena Uambembe (1994- ) is an Angolan-South African multidisciplinary artist working with textiles, printmaking, photography, and performance. Her work deals with the relationship between personal politics and global politics. Using her family's history, particularly that of her father, she connects Angolan, South African, and South African history. The 32nd Battalion and her Angolan heritage occur often in her work. Archives, memory, body, and language are starting points for her to explore history and stories.
