Poet Antoinette Ntuli Reflects on Pitika Ntuli And His Work

Antoinette Ntuli has more than 40 years experience as a health and cultural activist. In the UK she was part of the ‘Politics of Health Group’, and the ‘Racism Awareness Training Unit’, a group that pioneered anti-racist training. From 1984 to 1994 she co-curated a number of community events and art exhibitions with Pitika Ntuli, and was actively involved in Apples and Snakes - a poetry collective that promoted spoken word performances. Moving to South Africa in 1994 she worked for Soul City, and later the Health Systems Trust. Her passion for equity and justice was instrumental in the development of the ‘South African Equity Gauge Project’, the catalyst for the formation of several similar projects in countries in Africa, South America and South East Asia. In 2015 she helped set up the ‘Sankofa Public Arts Trust’ that supports the promotion of public art through the training and empowerment of young people from disadvantaged communities. She is currently a Trustee and project manager for the Trust. She edited the catalogue for Pitika Ntuli’s first exhibition in South Africa, ‘Scent of Invisible Footprints’ and has performed her poetry in several gatherings.
