Kudzanai-Violet Hwami @ Gasworks

Kudzanai-Violet Hwami left her homeland (Zimbabwe) at the age of nine amidst political turmoil. Drawing on personal experiences of geographical dislocation and displacement, her intensely pigmented paintings combine visual fragments from a myriad of sources such as online images and haunting family photographs, which collapse past and present into bold afro-futuristic visions.
