Tamary Kudita (b. 1994) makes photographs that examine African identity in relation to the social and historical forces that frame individuals’ lives. Kudita lives and works in Zimbabwe, a country formerly colonized by Great Britain. She traces her family heritage to the Shona-speaking people of Zimbabwe and to a nineteenth-century union between a Black South African plantation worker and a Dutch soldier. Mixing cultural signifiers across centuries and continents, Kudita’s portraits make the hybrid nature of African identities visible while giving everyday Zimbabweans their due.
This special feature is made possible by the Private Collection of Lesley Goldwasser and Jonathan Plutzik, with thanks to VISU Contemporary art gallery.
