It will work, you will not work simple!!!, 2021

Included in Haipere nyaya yacho, a duo exhibition by Admire Kamudzengerere and Troy Makaza, at Catinca Tabacaru Gallery in Bucharest, Romania.

Spanning two decades of Zimbabwe’s born-free generation (those born after the 1980 independence from Rhodesia), while also a part of the broader millennial generation, the two artists address the reckless disregard for the future of both the Zimbabwean and global youth. Here, they draw connections between post-colonial Africa and post-communist Eastern Europe. The works speak to the false hope and resulting disillusionment created by the often authoritarian and always corrupt rule of the current leadership.
