Grant is a full-time practicing artist born and raised in the Elsies River suburb in Cape Town. As a recipient of the Lionel Davis Award in 2012, Grant completed a residency at Greatmore Studios in Woodstock before co-founding the interdisciplinary collective, Burning Museum. The collective worked with obscured narratives based on the histories and heritage of segregated people and made work that was mostly installed or painted in public spaces, from the District Six Museum in Cape Town to spaces in Benin, Germany and Spain. As a member of the DJ collective Future Nostalgia, the artist works with sonic archives looking back at cultural revolutions from music and art. Grant’s work as mural painter and graffiti artist with community projects, street art groups and cultural tours, has led to design exchange programmes and projects in Denmark, German, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. He participated in the Prohelvetia Swiss Arts Council exchange/residency in July 2022.
