Description

The Art of Scarification and Identity

Long before passports, profiles, and surnames, the body itself carried history.

uKugcaba explores African scarification practices as forms of identity, belonging, beauty, healing, and cultural memory. Through clay and mark-making, we examine how the body became a living archive and what these traditions can teach us about identity today.
