We’re excited to announce a solo exhibition of new paintings by Zimbabwean born and Cape Town based artist Tafadzwa Masudi. Titled KUMUKA, the exhibition opens on 1 May at the WORLDART gallery.

The word "kumuka” originates from Shona, a language spoken widely in Zimbabwe, and at its core means "to rise”, “to awaken” or “to return".

In previous exhibitions the subjects in Masudi’s paintings were presented as individuals with dreams, hopes and expectations in a world of uncertainty. Now they show a peace of mind. Challenges still exist, but they are aligned with universal truths and individual essence.

The exhibition will open on Thursday 1 May from 6-8pm at WORLDART’s new gallery space at 68 Long Street (corner Shortmarket Street) in the Cape Town central city and concludes on 29 May 2025.
