Nosiviwe’s Creative Breakthrough
Nosiviwe’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of creativity. Once a participant in our arts programme, her ceramic installation, Hand-Me-Downs – a powerful commentary on educational inequality – won her the 2023 Sasol New Signatures Art Prize and a solo exhibition at the Pretoria Art Museum.
Today, she leads by example as a principal and creative role model for the next generation.
“I would not be where I am today without the support I received from Enlighten.”
