Breeze Yoko in conversation with Mzwandile Buthelezi Live while they sketch and answer questions from the audience. 

Mzwandile Buthelezi (HacOne) at Goethe Institute
A multidisciplinary artist born in Johannesburg in 1981, Buthelezi is a former student of the Federated Union of Black Artists (FUBA) and a graphic design graduate of the University of Johannesburg. His artistic language produces works that engage in a dynamic dialectic with musical composition, interrogating the intersecting concepts of laboratory thought and identity politics. Central to his practice is an examination of the relationship between free jazz improvisation and the political ideals of liberation and resistance. Buthelezi's works have appeared on numerous contemporary South African and international jazz and literature covers. The interview addresses the historical lineage of his illustration style, the necessity of expanding upon the discursive terrain established by artistic forebears such as Dumile Feni and Malangatana Ngwenya, the politics of visual language and heritage, and his recent experience of founding a gallery in Soweto.
