I talk about the importance of a messenger in my culture. The messenger relays messages from authority be it in a family setting or community setting , we are often taught that the messenger can never be held liable for the messages they relay.

As society, in the times we live in, we often dwell so much on the hope that those messages bring hope and a sense of upliftment to the masses.

PRESENTATION OF THE ARTIST

Founder of a photography and clothing movement called Swag Syndroam, Sinenkosi Msomi is an artist from Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) who lives in Mbabane.

While he holds an Associate Degree in Business Management and is pursuing his Bachelor's Degree in Commerce, photography means a lot to him. He is fascinated by the power of an image on an audience and how an idea can come to life through photography.

A multiple award winner for his work, he won one of the African Union's Nefertiti Awards in 2020 on the first-ever African Integration Day for artwork that addresses the themes of social change, justice, inclusion, fairness, equality, struggle and anti-oppression.
