About Nan M:
Nan Mthembu is a British South African model with albinism, based in London. Nan enjoys the creative outlet of modelling, using it to express emotion and channel their passion for visual art, movement and fashion. They advocate for the disabled community by pushing boundaries through their work – subverting expectations of albinism and capturing raw artistry and emotion that reflects their perspective beyond their condition.
Nan’s reflections on Seen
“I hope this exhibition underscores and emphasises how incredibly independent and talented people with sight loss are. Ignorance is normal, but it should manifest as teachable moments that connect us and facilitate personal growth. Disability shouldn’t be shied away from, but rather learnt about and celebrated. Not doing so is dismissive of people’s experiences and blocks the joy we have to bring to the world.”
