Chloë Hugo-Hamman (*1983) is an interdisciplinary artist and teacher based in Cape Town, South Africa. When she was small, she was allergic to red things. That early awareness left her with a sense that colour speaks long before words arrive. Colour still moves through her work, functioning as an alternative language to the medicalised vocabulary of diagnoses and labels. She still reaches for every koki in the box. Colour as an opening toward more possible ways of living. She works across drawing, textile, sculpture, video, and installation. She studied Architecture at the University of Cape Town, completed a Master’s in Fine Art at the University of the Witwatersrand, and later returned to UCT for a Postgraduate Certificate in Education.
