Musa N. Nxumalo

B. 1986, Soweto, currently lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. Musa N. Nxumalo is a photographer, artist and podcaster, currently living and working in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nxumalo considers himself a wanderer who is currently interested in the concept of photography and art making as a form of traveling, discovering and writing.

Nxumalo has been steadily developing a unique visual vocabulary that delicately balances his interests in social documentary photography and fine art. To this end, he astutely employs the black and white ‘film’ construct in images that courageously consider and capture the appearances and experiences of contemporary black South Africans. This results in a photographic oeuvre that oscillates between great empathetic intimacy and journalistic distance with unmissable humanity.
