Winner Baby (Glazed Over)

Tulani Hlalo (b.1994) lives and works in Glasgow. Comprising textile, moving image, performance, sculpture and installation, Hlalo’s recent bodies of work borrow from the niche subculture of competitive dog grooming as a visual language to explore how identity is at once defined and changeable. Employing playfulness and humour, as well as bizarre or otherwise unconventional imagery, her research examines a search for one’s sense of belonging and explores what it might mean to exist between cultures. Recent solo exhibitions have been shown at Soup, London; Slugtown, Newcastle upon Tyne; CCA, Glasgow; and Almanac, Turin, IT. Hlalo has exhibited widely internationally and has undertaken residencies at ArcadeCampfa and Joya: arte + ecologia, as well as winning the Manchester School of Art Alumni Prize.
