Norval Foundation launched in April 2018.[11][12] Notable exhibitions during her time at Norval Foundation include Accomplice by Michael Armitage,[13] Heliostat by Wim Botha,[14] Why Do I Hesitate by William Kentridge[15] and Alpha and Omega by Jackson Hlungwani.
Prior to joining Norval Foundation, Brundyn was part of a small team that helped launch the Zeitz MOCAA in September 2017. Her role was Director of Institutional Development and External Affairs.[1][4]
In 2020, Elana nominated for the most beautiful object in South Africa.[16]
