The “Self Portrait” Series was inspired by Ronald’s desires to preserve the history of portraiture. His intention is to highlight and extend the narrative while including an analysis of his dark skinned tone to unpack the socio-political stereotypes of beauty and belonging.

“The Art of Self Portraiture is slowly fading away which concerns me because it’s losing its pride of place in the international painting community. Therefore, I want to leave a portraiture legacy for my descendants so that they have the opportunity to learn about their ancestors after I’m gone. It’s also really important for me to dissect and use my blackness as a reference towards what’s happening internally and how I am perceived in a racially charged society,” explains Muchatuta.

Via @galleriesnow . This week On March 17th Ronald Muchatuta will be presenting '- KaLife aka ....' at @alminerech Shanghai, his second solo exhibition with the gallery. For this exhibition, the South Africa-based Zimbabwean artist will showcase new collage works. • Using the primary medium of illustration, his signature, Muchatuta creates beings suspended in action as an existential crisis and, simultaneously, a constitutive practice. This presentation is a tribute to his roots and marks a new path depicting his ever-expanding exploration of the ungraspable narratives that make up the world; and the different worlds many migrants have to live in and negotiate. — @fadzvero Fadzai Muchemwa, Curator for Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Zimbabwe • #RonaldMuchatuta #KaLifeaka #AlmineRechShanghai #AlmineRech #Shanghai (at Shanghai, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpuQsLWqqHl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#repost @labiennale #BiennaleArte2022 Partecipazioni Nazionali | Repubblica dello Zimbabwe I DID NOT LEAVE A SIGN?, che presenta le opere di #WallenMapondera, #RonaldMuchatuta, #KresiahMukwazhi e #TerrenceMusekiwa, corrisponde alla magica e strana bellezza nell'imprevisto, nel perturbante, disprezzato e non convenzionale, che sono al centro di questa esplorazione di quanto giunto fino a noi. Ossessionati dallo spettro di un passato che non possiamo scrollarci di dosso, di un presente che non possiamo sopportare e di un futuro che non possiamo più immaginare con sicurezza, sosteniamo l'utilità di ravvivare storie di resistenza e sopravvivenza e di come porci nel cuore del caos. Questa è una mappa. Visita il Padiglione Zimbabwe a Venezia fino al 27 novembre. Scopri di più su #IlLatteDeiSogni e acquista il biglietto → www.labiennale.org - link in bio --- National Participations | Republic of ZimbaPresenting@wallenmap, @muchatuta, @kresiahmukwazhi, and @musekiwa.terrence, I DID NOT LEAVE A SIGN? corresponds to the magic and strange beauty in the unexpected, uncanny, disregarded, and unconventional, which are at the centre of this exploration of legacies. Haunted by the spectre of a past we cannot shake, a present we cannot bear, and a future we can no longer confidently imagine, we argue for the usefulness of enlivening stories of resistance and survival and how to centre ourselves at the heart of chaos.
