Wednesday Walkthrough: Kresiah Mukwazhi
Join us for a Wednesday Walkthrough – a gallery tour where artists, experts, researchers and academics give short talks in their field of expertise relating to the concepts explored in our exhibition.
In this walkthrough, Saziso Phiri will explore the artworks in Kresiah Mukwazhi's exhibition Kirawa. Saziso will guide us through the artist's style of painting, choice of canvas and materials, and how they represent resistance and care whilst challenging colonial aesthetics.
