artist’s biography
Miliswa Ndziba is a Graduate School of Architecture Unit 19 assistant and co-founder of
room19isaFactory. As the collective’s playmaker, she approaches architecture as the practice
of manifesting the fantasy of persons/people through space-making. Her interests lie in
dismantling the continued construction and preservation of spatio-political utopias through
worldbuilding techniques such as magical realism and Saidiya Hartman’s critical fabulation.
She employs the methodology of child-play-as-analogue-modelling in her practice.
