Meggs History of design

A voice from Africa

Chaz Maviyane-Davies (b. 1952), called “the guerilla of graphic design,” creates posters with richly metaphoric and hopeful messages. The risks he has taken in his personal life and in his work result in cross-cultural images that communicate with incisive effectiveness. Born and raised in Rhodesia, known as Zimbabwe since it became independent in 1980, Maviyane-Davies eventually went to London, where he studied graphic design. He has worked in Japan, where he studied three-dimensional design, and in Malaysia for the International Organization of Consumers Unions and the JUST World Trust. His professional experience in London has included time with Fulcrum Design Consultants; Newell and Sorrel Design, Ltd. and the graphic design department of the BBC. From 1983 until January 2001, he had his own design studio in Harare, Zimbabwe, creating a human rights poster series for which he has gained worldwide renown (Fig. 23-148). Maviyane-Davies believes that design is a powerful tool for social change. His last fourteen years in Zimbabwe saw a consistent loss of freedom and none of the economic improvement promised by the government of President Robert Mugabe. Maviyane-Davies has incorporated his political convictions into many of his own projects (Fig. 23-149). He originally produced the human rights series at his own expense, but it was eventually adopted by the United Nations. By the time he left Zimbabwe for Boston in 2001, he was Africa’s best-known graphic designer.
