Kay-Leigh Fisher
Visual artist and curator based in Johannesburg
Kay-Leigh Fisher is a visual artist, curator and publisher based in Johannesburg. Her research and practice focuses on themes and narratives of becoming, thinking through familiar relationships with objects and how they reinforce ideals concerning racial and gendered identity.

She makes publications as curatorial interventions that are extensions of thinking through her practice. She holds an Honours in Curatorship degree from Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town (2020) and a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Witwatersrand (2019). Fisher is an assistant curator of the Constitutional Court Art Collection at the Constitutional Court.
