An online work by another unknown artist, NDILINDILE is an un-experience, about the annoyance and frustration of being stood up on a first date, being stranded at a taxi rank, or perhaps waiting in a doctor’s room for an appointment with a doctor who no longer works at the practice (see, you made your booking online). Translated from isiXhosa (on Google!), the word ndilindile variously means ‘I am waiting’, ‘my friend’ or ‘I hope’. “If we got the translation wrong, please let us know, and sincere apologies in advance. We weren’t expecting to present this groundbreaking experience this year but given the circumstances we couldn’t delay an opportunity for you to not be disappointed.
