The announcement was made by Culture Minister A K Balan during the KMB 2016 closing ceremony, following an unanimous decision made by a high-powered panel comprising renowned artists and prominent personalities.
"I am delighted that the jurors thought I can deliver. I accept the responsibility with excitement and humility. It is early days yet and my thoughts will no doubt undergo several changes going forward, but I view this as an opportunity to do something special," said Dube, who was present at the function.
Dube has been part of various national and international biennales and festivals such as "iennale Jogja XI" (Indonesia, 2011) and "Against Exclusion" 3rd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (2009) among others.
