© Kay-Leigh Fisher Kay-Leigh Fisher is a visual artist, curator and publisher based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her research and practice explores themes and narratives of becoming, thinking through familiar relationships with objects and how they reinforce ideals around racial, sexual and gendered identity. Her portraits depict the multiplicity of identities that exist within an individual as a departure from the notion of an ideal portrait. Fisher creates publications as curatorial interventions that speak to the ambiguity of being and the unlearning that occurs in counter-cultural spaces. She holds an Honours in Curatorship degree from Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town (2020) and a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from the Wits School of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand (2019). Fisher is a Programme Associate at the Joburg Contemporary Art Foundation (JCAF), and was an Assistant Curator of the Constitutional Court Art Collection (CCAC) at the Constitutional Court of South Africa. She was a co-recipient of the Bag Factory Artist Studios Young Womxn Studio Bursary (2022–2023).
