Artist
I’m Kaliyongene, also known as Buya Nangoma, a Zambian-British neurodivergent artist who creates inclusive fantasy art rooted in cultural identity, mental health, and speculative storytelling.
My work draws from my deep love of nature, neuroscience, and the rich imaginative worlds of fantasy and cyberpunk. My work aims to challenge societal norms and celebrate the beauty of neurodiversity.
The design I submitted is a personal piece, a design version of myself. The oversized elf ears reflect my sensory sensitivity, especially to sound, while the mushrooms symbolise neurodivergence, growth, and connection to the natural world. The green tones and Zambian flag-inspired palette honour my roots and favourite colour. This design weaves together softness, surrealism, and bold Afrofuturist energy, a visual expression of both vulnerability and resilience.
