Biography
Kendell Geers was born in Leondale, a working-class suburb on the East Rand outside Johannesburg, South Africa, into an Afrikaans family during the time of apartheid.[1][2][3]
At the age of 15, Geers ran away from home due to an abusive, alcoholic father and joined the anti-apartheid movement.
The apartheid government had a policy of compulsory conscription for white males as young as 16 years old.[4] Geers applied to the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg to avoid conscription into the South African Defence Force.[5]
While at art school, Geers met fellow artist Neil Goedhals, and they formed the performance art group KOOS with Marcel van Heerden, Gys de Villiers, Megan Kruskal, and Velile Nxazonke.
