Johannesburg- Pitika Ntuli is an academic, sculptor, poet, and writer who has contributed immensely to the political and artistic discourse of South Africa before and after spending 32 years in exile.
Even in 2021, the man whose career spans over a few decades and continents is still as busy as he was when lecturing abroad decades ago.
A few months ago he won a Global Fine Art Award in Paris, adding another accolade to an already impressive CV. Ntuli’s Azibuyele Emasisweni – an online exhibition of the bone sculptures hosted by Melrose Gallery – won the You-2 Award.
