Biography
Ms Nyide is currently studying towards her Masters of Arts (Art History) through the University of KwaZulu Natal. In her recent work she is fascinated by the play between ‘staged’ rituals of becoming. She makes social commentary on what makes or prevent us from being as rooted in ‘moulded’ individualisms, particularly reflecting as a young woman born, schooled and cultured in the outskirts of Bulwer (near Underberg).
In these works, she uses the duplicative quality of printmaking as her main language.
For the past two years and a half, she has worked at Caversham Centre for Artists and Writers as Programmes Manager. Before this, Whilst completing her B-Tech- Fine Art Degree at the Durban University of Technology in 2007, Ms Nyide was appointed to tutor students in the extended programme. She assisted them in addressing academic issues related to Art Theory 1. In 2007 and 2008, she taught Drawing and Painting to the African Arts Centre”s Velobala Saturday art classes, which is also where she obtained her own art development when she joined the class in 2003.
