A visual artist from Daveyton, Ndiphiwe Ngcume, is determined to fight the scourge of genderbased violence through his artistic photographs.
Working in collaboration with photographer Kamohelo Phetla and a local graphic designer, Ngcume, who is the brain behind the concept, said their photographs depict the horrors of GBV.
“Our work plays an important role in gender-based violence awareness. Art is more like a language and is easier to reach the masses.
“For this concept, I mixed photography, visual art, design and modelling because I believe people relate more to what they see visually. To grab the attention of the con, I have added other multimedia to my work,” said Ngcume.
Ngcume said his GBV programme started in April after seeing the continuous violence towards victims in the community who don’t have a voice to express themselves.
“My idea was also fuelled after attending a conversation hub regarding violence in Soweto. I also decided to do a documentary where I feature various artists.”
Besides being a visual artist, this youngster is also a songwriter, recording artist, and poet. He has a qualification in marketing management and is studying towards an Information Technology (IT) qualification.
