“My name is Wezile Harmans. In my practice, I study human behaviour. Most of the time I use the technique of defamiliarisation. It helps me to further the conversation, or further what I’m actually looking at, or what I’m seeing in different ways. My practice comprises performance, video installation, and mixed media. I use these mediums within my work as tools for social change…I’m very interested, as an artist, in human rights. Defending our lives and the best way for us to be safe, how we respond to things that are happening to us and to our spaces, and where we go and look for healing. How can I use art as a tool to fight or to respond, or to echo all these things that are happening? For me, my approach is not really tangible — I focus on the feelings. How I can make people feel, to not numb themselves, to realise they have possibilities – agency, because I believe that’s where it starts.”
