'Ikhono Lasenatali' is a project initiated by Sir Professor Zanele Muholi.

Twenty five young artists from Kwazulu Natal are commissioned by Muholi to reinterpret an image from the 'Somnyama Ngonyama' series in each artist’s medium of choice.

The project is curated by Dr. Bajabulile La Dhlamini Sidzumo and Thobeka Bhengu and is the second instance of the initiative. The first iteration opened in KZN this May 2019.

In addition to the exhibition, the project entails a wide-reaching exchange with schools in the Western Cape and aims to challenge youth to consider the tenets of inclusivity, creativity and collectivism.
