KEYNOTE—
NONTSIKELELO MUTITI

Nontsikelelo Mutiti is a Zimbabwean born designer, visual artist, and educator whose conceptual approach to design spans the mediums of print, moving-image, web design, fine art, and community engagement. Mutiti maintains a research based studio practice through which design commissions and independent projects are both facilitated, foregrounding research, experimentation, and learning with colleagues and mentees.

Mutiti considers her teaching practice an extension of her studio practice, and strives to bring the same interdisciplinarity and opportunities for collaboration to her students. Mutiti has held assistant professorships at Virginia Commonwealth University and Purchase College, State University of New York. Also experienced in the work of institution building, Mutiti has initiated several platforms that foster collaborative projects between artists and scholars across the globe. She co-founded and was the artistic director of Black Chalk & Co., a creative agency that brought together writers, artists, designers, academics, and technologists with a mutual interest in publishing, curating conversations, and exhibitions.
