African arts star at N’Namdi Center

Contemporary art from both Africa and the African diaspora get the spotlight at two small but cool shows at Detroit’s N’Namdi Center for Contemporary Art through Jan. 2. “Simbi dzebasa” brings together three young artists and one national icon, all from Zimbabwe, while “Leonardo Benzant: The Cosmology of Resistance and Transformation” features the New York-based Caribbean-American artist’s offbeat take on African ritual sticks and totems.

POVOKonvo - Nancy Mteki - Honai

Nancy Mteki speaks to us about her exhibition titled "Honai". Follow Nancy on twitter: @nmteki Special thanks to Dana Njele Art Station for the Venue for the...

Helen Teede reviews Nancy Mteki's exhibition "....With “Honai,” Nancy Mteki unsettles patriarchal boundaries as well as those that dictate what forms of artistic expression and subject matter are accepted in Zimbabwe, defiantly presenting the female figure with a temerity that safeguards her body, and her self."

Thanks Helen...

Nancy Mteki exists on the axis of self exploration in a society that shames whilst simultaneously sexualizing and objectifying the black female form.

 “Ah honai akarambwa nemurume, ah achadiwa nani? Mirai achazvara vamwe vana vasina ana baba”.

 The creation of the collection consciously draws from her personal narrative and subjectivity presenting a layered bricolage of freedom. Using the juxtaposition of ‘masculinity’ and ‘femininity’, she sheds off each piece of clothing, debunking the gender myth and releasing herself from the yoke of oppression. Her body transcends space encountering and challenging the public gaze, revealing her vulnerability and displaying her power.

 Equipped with the camera and experience of rejection, mothering and loss, she is inviting the audience to her reawakening. Boldly she stares at you against the backdrop of domesticity rewriting history and challenging the narrative of black African female voicelessness. Each image layered with political force, freezing time and space, pushes one to reimagine ‘woman’, ‘man’ and ultimately ‘self’.
