About
Nabeeha Mohamed (b.1988, Cape Town, South Africa) completed her BAFA degree at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2011. Mohamed’s very personal work grapples with the complexities and contradictions of identity and class privilege in post-Apartheid South Africa. Her paintings evoke a world that is both familiar yet strange, pensive yet full of folly, interrogating and celebrating how we might find belonging in otherness.
Mohamed has had five solo presentations including Vanitas Woe (2023) at WHATIFTHEWORLD, Cape Town, Same Sky, Different Fruit (2022) at Gallery 1957, Accra, Brown Petal (2022) at The Vault, Silo Hotel, Cape Town; Dressing Room (2021) at WHATIFTHEWORLD, and Sunshine on My Skin is My Favourite Colour (2020) at SMITH Studio, Cape Town.
