Her work uses abstract figuration to celebrate diverse figures and reimagine how they are seen within contemporary culture. Working in painting, collage, and ceramics, she reflects on her dual heritage and highlights people often pushed to the margins, bringing joy and play into her work.
As a curator, Mnguni creates community-focused environments that amplify overlooked voices and broaden access to creativity. Her curatorial approach echoes her art practice, aiming to shift how audiences connect with the figures she presents.
