Anni Snyman is an artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. She works in various media ranging from traditional prints, photography, digitally manipulated images to three dimensional sculptures and collaborative constellations (juxtapositions of different creative disciplines in public spaces - 'kunstellasies'). Since 2009 she has been exploring site_specific works in various landscapes.

In August 2006 she spent a month in New York as a fellow of the Ampersand Foundation. Whilst there, she kept an online diary about her experiences.

Her most recent solo exhibition, entitled Memory of Water showed at the University of Johannesburg Art Gallery in November 2006.

In the course of 2007 the first thoughts regarding trans_end started brewing, which katty vandenberghe is co-ordinating as a cyber-constellation. This theme of considering a world after the 'end of the world' lead to material and concepts for Creative Disobedience (2008/9) with Eugenie Grobler and her first land art installation at Afrika Burn – Siren (2009).

In 2010 she attended the Humus Park land art event in Pordenone, Italy, and returned to start organising Site_Specific, South Africa's first annual international land art event with Strijdom van der Merwe and a great team of friends. The launch of Site_Specific will take place 22-29 May 2011 in Plettenberg bay.
