Show Notes

Guest: Hannelie Warrington-Coetzee is a Johannesburg-based visual artist and honorary research fellow at the Global Change Institute, University of the Witwatersrand.

Our guest today is Johannesburg-based visual artist and honorary research fellow at the Global Change Institute. Her work blends environmental science with socially engaged art, focusing on site-specific interventions in public and natural spaces. Driven by a deep respect for nature, she uses reclaimed industrial waste and nature-based solutions to explore ecological innovation. Coetzee’s collaborative practice connects communities, landscapes, and unlikely partners—human and non-human alike. Her recent projects, including the Alexandra River Creature Series, reflect her commitment to co-learning, empathy, and environmental action through art. Her work continues to resonate globally through exhibitions and residencies.
