Imraan Christian (b. Cape Town, SA) identifies as a son of the soil, a visual artist and an activist with the connecting thread being
mysticism in its many forms. He is a Brand Ambassador for South Africa, and in this capacity has been chosen to represent the
freedom of expression for his nation. He currently lives and works in Cape Town.
