Nikiwe Solomon

Nikiwe Solomon is an environmental anthropologist working at the interface of science, technology, politics and urban river and water management in the Anthropology Department at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Her PhD dissertation research ‘The Kuils Multiple: An ethnography of an urban river in Cape Town’  explored the entanglement of the Kuils River with social, technical and political worlds in the context of urban planning in a time of climate change. Her research interests lie in exploring and understanding the relationship between humans and the environment in cultural production. In a broad sense, her research focus is on how human and ecological well-being and issues of sustainability are entangled with politics, economics and technology. Solomon, is also a Research Associate at the African Centre for a Green Economy where she practices the integration of theoretical knowledge with the experience of the everyday, engaging with community based organisations and civil society. Nikiwe is a part of the Seed Box project, where she serves as a fellow in Feminist and Anticolonial Approaches to Environmental Humanities and Justice in the Global South with research focusing on flows—of currents (water and capital), toxics and cement.
