Born and based in Cape Town, Asemahle Ntlonti calls Engcobo, Mqonci in the Eastern Cape her home. She graduated from the University of Cape Town’s Michaelis School of Fine Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2017, where she majored in sculpture. Complementary to this she was also part of a performance collective called iQhiya. “I fell in love with performance,” says Asemahle.
“My work is performance, sculpture and recently painting.” She also works with found material as well as on canvas. “I am multidisciplinary artist, so all those things mixed up together.”
She was awarded the 2018 Young Female Residency by The Project Space, a non-profit cultural institution founded by the late Benon Lutaaya in Johannesburg, South Africa. In 2019 Ntlonti attended a residency at the South African Foundation for Contemporary Art (SAFFCA) in Knysna and Saint Emilion, France. Ntlonti’s work has been exhibited widely in South Africa and abroad.
