Meet the Artist – Joshua Chiundiza

On February 18, the students enrolled in Current Art met with audiovisual artist Joshua Chiundiza, recently arrived from Zimbabwe to pursue a residency at the Embassy of Foreign Artists in Geneva. Through this Q&A, which was co-written with the students, Joshua spoke with us about his experience as an artist-in-residence at the Fak’ugesi African Digital Innovation Residency in Johannesburg (2018), about how his creative process involves transforming his exploration of his own Chewa, Shona and Nguni heritage into new forms of audiovisual narration, and about his involvement in the creation of a new African digital aesthetic.
