Nyami-Nyami – A Sculptural Installation and Sound Performance by The Zebra Collective

Presented by the University of Johannesburg’s Artists In Residence Programme (AIR) in collaboration with the VIAD Research Centre’s Bioart+Design Africa Research Programme, Kudzanai Chiurai’s The Library of Things We Forgot to Remember, and 44 Stanley, Nyami-Nyami is an immersive multimedia installation and performance by the renowned artist duo, Masimba Hwati and Michael Gould, collectively known as the Zebra Collective. This thought-provoking work reimagines the cultural and ecological trauma surrounding the construction of the Kariba Dam and its lasting impact on the Tonga people and the surrounding environment.

The opening performance will take place on Thursday, 26 June at 18:00, with the artists bringing their installation to life through a live performance. On Saturday, 28 June at 11:00, the Zebra Collective will lead a walkabout of the installation, offering a unique opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of their creative process, followed by another live performance.
