Libita Sibungu (b.1987, Cornwall) lives and works in West Penwith. She is a multidisciplinary artist drawing on her British-Cornish-Namibian heritage to make discursive works that explore entangled personal histories, and colonial legacies inscribed in the body and land. Sibungu employs sound, performance, photography, and installation — as a way to usher subversive pathways into the present through reimagining materiality, movement, and collective healing in relation to the environment.
Sibungu is the recipient of both the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Arts Future Foundation awards (2022). Selected exhibitions have been with; Kunsthall Trondheim, Norway (2023); Sonsbeek, Netherlands, and Temple Bar Gallery, Ireland, (2021); Gasworks, Spike Island, Somerset House, all UK, (2019), Eastside Projects, UK, (2018); and Diaspora Pavilion, 57th Venice Biennale, Italy (2017).
