Bambo Sibiya utilizes two distinct art processes, the first being traditional printmaking techniques, and the second being mixed media on canvas. Sibiya’s work advocates for the communitarian spirit of ‘Ubuntu Ngabantu’, a term deriving from Zulu philosophy that when translated means ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’. Sibiya draws inspiration from social realism, an art movement that critiques structures of power and elucidates socio-political conditions endured by the marginalized. There are multiple complex thematic concerns in Sibiya’s work that include migration, the mining industry, subcultures within Black townships, households headed by single mothers, the plight of the poor, and the working-class grappling with deficits in social security. Sibiya is a creator of beguiling visual narratives that speak on struggle and survival concealed by hope and the allure of beauty.
