Our founder, Carlyn Strydom 

Carlyn Strydom is an independent curator, researcher, and ecological practitioner working in South Africa. She curates exhibitions that speak to her research interests which extend to the role of museums in contemporary society, the use of art as a social tool for upliftment, the role of contemporary African art, and the ways people engage with the natural environment.

She has over a decades’ worth of  experience working in the heritage and art fields in South Africa, which has shaped her vision as a curator. More aligned with the social impact of art, rather than its commercial value, Carlyn continues to engage with art that reflects on our heritage and promotes a peaceful and sustainable future.

Carlyn holds a B.A in English and Media Studies, a B.A Honours in Curatorship and an MPhil in Heritage and Public Culture.
