AneUnhu
Globally renowned visual artist, Moffat Takadiwa debuted his exhibition, Vestiges of Colonialism in March of 2023 at the National Art Gallery of Zimbabwe which was his first local exhibition in over a decade.
In a collaboration between interdisciplinary artist AneUnhu and the German Embassy in Harare, a troupe of instrumentalists and dancers came together to explore themes of abuse, colonialism and consumerism.
Built from notes made over several conversations with the incomparable Moffat Takadiwa, AneUnhu made a pointed effort to center indigenous knowledge systems and practices. Framing the evening’s recital through the accounts of witnesses of a vicious crime, Poisoned Soil takes on the vestiges of colonialism and unashamedly challenges the neocolonial practices being perpetuated by parasitic bodies that pretend to be for the good of all.
He also played the piano for two powerful pieces.
