Social Interactions with Dada Khanyisa
Dada Khanyisa, also known as uMdali Wezinto or The Mighty Whale, is a South African artist who creates art that captures the energy and life of urban areas and townships. They use a mix of acrylic painting, sculpture, and everyday objects to make their art, which tells stories about identity, community, and how people live together.
We are so fascinated by how their woodwork brings contemporary South African scenes to life, and how they find humor in romantic and other social interactions. Their work is colorful and full of detail, making it both eye-catching and meaningful…and we love each one!
