Shayna Rosendorff is a Johannesburg based Artist and Researcher, a recent Fine Arts graduate from the University of the Witwatersrand; her work focuses on the politics of the representation of land and landscape in South Africa. With a specific focus in mining, she uses the aesthetic impact of the mining industry to unpack a much deeper violence that becomes a part of the everyday. She has exhibited in numerous exhibitions and her work sits in various collections. In early 2021 she completed an 18-month collaboration with BMW Group South Africa, producing work for their Head Offices in South Africa as one of the winners of their student art project in collaboration with Wits University. Shayna also runs a collective called @overheard_in_the_gallery that documents comments made in gallery spaces that demonstrates the underlying social, political, and economic factors that come into play in the visiting of a gallery space.
