I’thandi Munro

I’thandi Munro is a mixed Afro-Euro L’nu woman living in K’jipuktuk, Miꞌkmaꞌki, the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. Munro is a professional performance and visual artist. In 2020, she completed her BFA, earning a double major in Photography and Jewellery Design and Metalsmithing from NSCAD University. As a racialized person living in a postcolonial environment, Munro uses the representation of line and of lineage as underlying concepts in her fine art, craft, and dance. Often merging different mediums into finished pieces, there is always a sense of multiplicity within her work, melding notions of the digital and the physical within her craft. Leaving space for her pieces to naturally evolve through reaction and discussion, Munro creates an ever-changing body of work that can be explored and realised in different ways.

In November 2022, Arts Nova Scotia and the Creative Nova Scotia Leadership Council awarded I’thandi an Emerging Artist Recognition Award.
