ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis explores the concept of identity and self-identification within the AmaXhosa culture. Through an art-practice-based approach to uncover meaning in personal narratives, it contends that colonialism, missionary education, and apartheid systematically eroded AmaXhosa identity by prioritising English and Western culture over indigenous languages, traditional customs, and religious beliefs. Employing a methodology rooted in practice-as- research, incorporating autoethnography, narrative theory, and collage as investigative methods, this thesis argues that personal narratives offer valuable insights into an individual's sense of place in the world. Additionally, the concept of framing is employed not only as a research methodology but also as a lens through which to interpret the practice, artworks, and written content of this thesis. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die konsep van identiteit en self identifikasie binne die AmaXhosa-kultuur. Deur 'n kunspraktyk gebaseerde benadering wat daarop gemik is om betekenis in persoonlike narratiewe te ontbloot, voer dit aan dat kolonialisme, sending opvoeding en apartheid AmaXhosa-identiteit stelselmatig geërodeer het deur Engelse en Westerse kultuur bo inheemse tale, tradisionele gebruike en godsdiensoortuigings te prioritiseer. Deur gebruik te maak van 'n metodologie wat gewortel is in praktyk-as-navorsing, wat outo- etnografie, narratiewe teorie en collage as ondersoekmetodes insluit, argumenteer hierdie tesis dat persoonlike narratiewe waardevolle insigte bied in 'n individu se sin van plek in die wêreld. Daarbenewens word die konsep van raamwerk nie net as 'n navorsingsmetodologie aangewend nie, maar ook as 'n lens waardeur die praktyk, kunswerke en geskrewe inhoud van hierdie tesis geïnterpreteer kan word.
