Hailing from Crossroads, Cape town  Nolubabalo Kanku is one of the founding members of Qaqambile Bead Studio. Qaqambile which means bright in IsiXhosa is a bead working workshop. The workshop sees  Nolubabalo and her colleagues translate brushstroke paintings into pieces of art made from beads.

Since 2004, Qaqambile has worked with Spier Arts Trust on a continued theme of collaboration with artists. Working closely with professional artists to translate their brushstrokes into panels made out of thousands of beads. Qaqambile beadworks usually tell a South African narrative. Qaqambile also produces meaningful design elements with Nando’s as one of the master artisan studios associated with Spier Artisan Studios.

Zkhiphani had a quick chat with u’mam Nolubabalo Kanku who made an appearance at The Bridges Academy grand opening which took place in Langa, Cape Town. A hub of creation and learning where young, talented students can pursue their creative dreams, develop their skills. The programme goes beyond just music and incorporates entrepreneurial training and a mindfulness program providing a cutting-edge approach to creative education.
