Sonic Exploration Network of Southern Africa

Belinda Blignaut

Emerging in the early 1990s, Belinda Blignaut (b.1968, South Africa) was one of the group of young experimental artists whose work served as a commentary on the social and political uncertainty of South Africa. Blignaut’s work suggests a quiet urgency for social change. 

She creates varied series of works with her body, earth and organic matter. In looking to create from a deeper source, she works with what she forages in nature. She seeks chance, unknowns and natural reactions through series of transformations in this honest and raw terrain,  a quiet visceral investigation into life and the creative process.
