Award-winning Zimbabwean Photographer Tamary Kudita went to exhibit at the Miami Beach Art Week 2022 at The Betsy after a successful debut of ‘African Victorian’ at The Betsy’s 2021 Miami Art Week.
Kudita presented a new collection, Fabrics of man, family, and society, that explores the impact of Zimbabwe’s colonial experience on African life and identity.
Her new work specifically reflects on the intersectionality of the cultural and ethnic fusion of lifestyles from the past and present.
Kudita says her work explores several intertwined imaginaries documented through domestic, metropolitan and nonlinear spaces.
“This series unfolds as a two-part story which I created through the lens of the past and the present. For some, Zimbabwe is a distant paradise, both mystical and wonderful whilst for others the concept of a lived reality operates as an absolute truth which is determined by the material conditions of the world in which we live,” she said.
Her art work will remain on permanent display at the Betsy Hotel.
Kudita graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2017 at Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town.
She won the Sony World Photography Open Photographer of the Year 2021.
Her first solo exhibition was held at the PH Center gallery in Cape Town which explored notions of race and representation. Her previous exhibitions titled Maintaining Memories have been held at the Michaelis Galleries also in Cape Town.
