Rebecca Khamala

Rebecca Khamala is a multidisciplinary designer with a background in architecture, an artist,and a writer. Her work is centred around her curiosities which are often driven by a fascination for people, culture, and the environment. Rebecca's practice revolves around working in harmony with the natural environment and exploring local materials and technologies. She researches traditional crafts through collaborating with local artisans and thereafter adapting them in contemporary design. Rebecca employs multiple disciplines; poetry, cinematography, film and performance, art and design in her explorations, usually approaching her work from a place of poetry —articulating emotions and thoughts into words —which she then translates into a visual and/or physical dimension. She enjoys creating works that are uplifting and inspiring, works that are rooted in problem solving, while telling stories (in whatever form) that are true to people and their context.
