Saziso Phiri

Curator & Cultural Producer

“Phiri is a curator to keep an eye on, making waves with her expectational creative expression and engaging projects“ - Len Gordon (Artplugged)

Saziso Phiri is a curator, cultural producer and occasional writer working mainly on visual art exhibitions and multidiscplinary-art festivals. She works independently and in partnership with organisations (public and private) and individuals.

In 2016, she launched The Anti Gallery - a pop-up art gallery exhibiting and engaging exhibitions outside of traditional gallery environments. Since launching, she has produced and co-produced almost 30 events for the platform with regional, national and international partners showcasing exhibitions, film screenings, artists talks, performances, creative workshops and residencies.

Phiri is also passionate about supporting early career and emerging artists and occasionally designs and delivers development opportunities. A keen and passionate public speaker, she has participated in domestic and international talks, and panel discussions on subjects such as social practice, artist wellbeing, creative processes, career development in the arts and alternative ways of curating.
