He holds a Ph.D. in Art History (UNISA) and has lectured at UNISA and Tshwane University of Technology. Nkosinkulu is currently a lecturer at Walter Sisulu University.

Nkosinkulu’s research and practice focus on contemporary African art, black radical tradition, decolonial aesthetics, and black existentialism.
