ARTISTLouise Deininger
As an African conceptual artist, author and leadership coach, my art practice explores decolonial reclamation and ancestral memory.
My art is gaining recognition for its bold materiality and critical voice. As it travels through exhibitions and conversations globally, it shapes space for African narratives, challenging colonial legacies while nurturing dialogue around identity, ecology, and cultural healing in Contemporary Art circles
