Mvelo Mahlangu

From January 29 - Feburary 25, 2024, apexart is pleased to welcome Mvelo Mahlangu as an apexart NYC Fellow, inbound from Johannesburg, South Africa

A self-taught photographer and visual artist having studied architecture, Mvelo Mahlangu is concerned with works which visually carry the stories of the past, present and future regarding the human experience. Using her photography, Mvelo expresses these thoughts and concepts through conceptual imagining, toying with otherworldly elements. However, with Mvelo's visual artworks, she focuses on the relationship that one has with oneself, mostly inspired by her own bouts of introspection, that touch on mental health & the processes towards unlearning, healing and evolving.

For more information, please visit Mvelo's fellowship page.

Day 20 – Space, Bonds & Better Questions

Today offered a bit of a pause. A reprieve, if you will, from the daily assault on the senses that is this Fellowship's magnificent and relentless itinerary. First up, scheduled as a guest at an AA meeting. Now, given the echoes of my own lived experience—childhood shaped by the ripple effects of alcohol—I knew instinctively this wasn't for me. I’ve listened. I’ve unpicked. I’ve evolved. And more than anything, I’ve put enough weight into that story already. It’s not a door I need to walk back through, especially not here, especially not now, and especially not in a city I’m navigating mostly solo.

Advance notice wouldn’t have gone amiss. Sometimes it’s not about what you’ll learn by showing up, but about knowing what you no longer need to learn again. And today was one of those days.

That said, I wasn’t angry. If anything, I surprised myself with how calm my “I’m good, thanks” came. A quiet marker of distance, and perhaps even healing. But it did raise thoughts on how we hold space for others—how we navigate shared experience while respecting very different emotional entry points. Not all disruption is generative, after all.

Next came a reassuring counterbalance: an online session with the one and only Rita (yes, she of the earlier financial adventures). Today’s gospel? Municipal bonds. Reader, I’m not built for bonds. I’m built for paint, textile, movement and meaning. Can someone just handle the investments for me while I get on with shaping the soul of a new body of work? Rita would probably tell me that’s exactly what I need: a team. Progress isn’t always about the lone genius—it’s often about shared effort. The invisible scaffolding. The ones who hold you up while you’re busy holding space for everyone else.

It made me wonder—do I need to call in a new cohort for my next chapter?

From there, across to Long Island City for a meeting with Greta Lin at ACE (The Association of Community Employment Programs for the Homeless). Their mission: job training, experience, and long-term support for New Yorkers affected by homelessness. It's vital work. And Greta, warm and assured, was open about the organisation’s aims and challenges.

But as I listened, I felt something familiar stir—curiosity, and a pinch of unease. We’re often good at helping people function. But how often do we help them dream? Are we creating pipelines back into society, or pathways forward into self-defined purpose?

And what of those who live outside the normative scope—gender-diverse, queer, neurodiverse individuals navigating homelessness in a country lurching rightward in policy and rhetoric? Where do they go, and how do they grow, when the system is designed to measure duty, not desire?

This isn’t a dig at ACE—they’re doing vital work. But as an artist, I’m trained to notice gaps. To squint at the edges of the picture and ask: what’s missing? Because people are more than their eligibility for support. They deserve stories, not just statistics.

So yes, today was lighter on the doing, but rich with questions. And maybe that’s the work right now. Making space not just for action, but for interrogation.

Today's pic for those in need of visual, yasss for you folks. Hmmm, let's see. I'll drop some various things in. You're Welcome.

1st Day in NYC 9.30 pm.

I understand the feeling of exhaustion to the point of completely losing energy.

5 hours from Bangkok to Tokyo, 4 hours in boarding pass at Haneda Airport, 12 hours to New York. Total 21 hours of travel.

The apartment is very comfortable. The view from the 15th floor overlooks the city from afar. The amenities are convenient - kitchen, laundry room, fitness center, and the familiar traces of past guests who have stayed here.

Slept for one hour, the most comfortable sleep in the past week. Before get back to the room I had a chat with Steven, Director of Apexart NYC. I liked what he said: If you want to escape from the society you used to be in, this place will help you. But it's about finding new perspectives in the people you’ll meet again. Let's see what's next...

BOGOTA Test post

Gearing up for a month long trip to Bogota with Apexart!

Anxious, excited, and a bit in disbelief that I get to spend a whole month exploring a city, a country I have never been to while participating in all sorts of wild activities and programming. So many unknowns--ready to "Live the question!"
