Shandré Lummis-Rabie (b. 1998, Johannesburg, South Africa) is a visual artist and storyteller whose practice weaves fabric, printmaking, and installation into acts of memory and reclamation. Rooted in her lived experience and hybrid lineage, her work explores the complexities of coloured identity in Johannesburg — its erasures, its resilience, and its tenderness.
Her recent bodies of work investigate how histories of colonisation and apartheid classifications fractured belonging, and how personal and collective memory can begin to stitch those ruptures back together. Working with textiles, archives, and domestic references, Shandré creates immersive environments that oscillate between the intimate and the political, the raw and the heart warming.
Through her practice, Shandré positions herself as both artist and archivist, seeking to preserve erased histories while creating new spaces of recognition and belonging.
