Cebo Mvubu

Thread Artist

I was born in 1981. I grew up in the village of Bodium, on the road to the coastal town of Hamburg,where there was no art to spark my creativity. I enjoyed drawing biology diagrams and I was paid some money to do so by less skilled classmates.
My turning point was when I joined Keiskamma art project in 2001 and I have learnt drawing techniques and printmaking. With the help of Keiskamma art project, in 2003 I went to Walter University to do a diploma in Fine Art. When I graduated, I came back to work in Keiskamma Art project. I was more involved in the major works of Keiskamma project and I also exhibited as a solo artist. Now I am a production manager in Keiskamma art project and an artist.
