Shenaz Mahomed (b. 1992) is a Pretoria based artist and curator. She obtained both her BA (2014) and MA (2019) degree in Fine Arts at the University of Pretoria. Mahomed is currently a lecturer in the Visual Arts Department at the University of Pretoria and is registered for her PhD in Digital Culture and Media Studies.
Mahomed’s practice involves a reflective reading of traditional Islamic visuals forms of art and written text as a means to communicate present-day encounters. Mahomed aims to interrogate her daily practice of religion and ritual by mapping relations and traces of her actions into art objects.
Mahomed’s work can be found in the art collections of ABSA, University of Pretoria, Department of Arts and Culture, Tiwani Contemporary (UK) as well the private collections of Wayne Barker, Gavin Rajah, Diane Victor, Harrie Siertsema and Raimi Gbadamosi.
