Hanien Conradie

(b 1972, South Africa. Lives and works in Cape Town)

Conradie is an active contributor to interdisciplinary symposiums; websites and artists' residencies where ecological research is conducted through creative practice. Her work is aimed at resuscitating old ways and discover new ways of relating to natural places and to other human beings through the making of art. She explores human relationship with land through painting; performance and poetry. Rather than seeing her work as 'products to be consumed'; she views them as 'agents for change' working specifically in the terrain of human-nature relationship.
