After working in Cape Town for some years, Naledi moved to Berlin and completed the MA Solo/Dance/Authorship at HZT Berlin in 2024. Her work seeks to blur the line between theory and practice and is inspired by performance studies, pop culture, and South African history and art.
Naledi’s artistic research is currently focused on Black gender play. He is looking for the ways in which gender is diversified, played with, challenged, or simply does not apply in Black (and largely, African) histories and (sub)cultures. He would like, through performance, to learn more about queerness outside of Western conceptions of the word.
Naledi was an artist-in-residence at ada studios Berlin and Köttinspektionen Dans in Uppsala in 2024 and is a recipient of the Scholarship for Dance Praxis from the Berlin Cultural Senate for 2024-2025.
