Nina Liebenberg

Nina Liebenberg was awarded a BAFA by the University of Stellenbosch and an MFA by the University of Cape Town. She has been a member of the Centre for Curating the Archive at the Michaelis School of Fine Art (UCT) since 2013 where she’s taught on various modules for the Honours in Curatorship programme and facilitated annual interdisciplinary workshops that use curation as methodology to explore overlaps and connections between diverse university departments. Her PhD thesis, which she completed in 2021, took the form of an object study that exposed the limitations of insider knowledge and systems of categorisation within the academic departments of the University of Cape Town, and demonstrated the explanatory, interdisciplinary potential of curatorship and artmaking. Her post-doc, jointly in the APC and CCA, involves multiple digital archival curations for the APC’s re-source project and the CCA’s digital Bleek and Lloyd project.
