Manyaku Mashilo began as a drawer—using pencil to mimic texture, memory, and feeling—long before painting became her primary language.In this episode, visual artist Manyaku Mashilo reflects on her evolution from fashion design into a multidisciplinary practice rooted in painting, mark-making, and storytelling. Her work moves through texture, memory, and color—building intimate, emotional worlds that center Black womanhood, spirituality, and ancestral lineage. But this isn't just a conversation about artistic process.Instead, Manyaku traces the deeper currents beneath her work: memory as a tool for survival, art as a spiritual practice, and the lifelong search for belonging—both within herself and in the communities she builds through her work.In this episode Manyaku shares:Her beginnings in fashion design and how drawing became the foundation of her practiceThe importance of texture as memory, emotion, and cultural markerHer work as a tattoo artist and how mark-making extends onto the bodyThe influence of her grandmothers—one a farmer, the other a spiritual healer—on her practiceArt as a form of ancestral remembrance and spiritual groundingNavigating identity, suppression, and belonging growing up between rural and urban South AfricaBuilding new forms of community through art, including queer Black creative networksAt its core, this conversation is about returning—returning to memory, to lineage, to the textures that hold us. Through Manyaku's reflections, we see how art becomes more than image-making; it becomes a site of healing, a language for the unsaid, and a way to rebuild belonging in a world that often asks us to forget.If you liked the episode, subscribe to our Substack for more highlights and insights about this episode and Mayaku's practice. Connect with Sade:  Subscribe to the Light Work newsletter Visit Sade's websiteVisit the Light Work websiteFollow Sade on Instagram  Follow Light Work on InstagramWatch the episodes on YouTubeReview us on Apple Podcasts---------------------------------Follow & Subscribe Subscribe on SubstackFollow Light Work on Instagram Follow Folasade Ologundudu on InstagramYouTube - Subscribe to the Light Work YouTube Channel
