Prudence Chimutuwah
Prudence Chimutuwah is an emerging contemporary visual artist fascinated with collage. She is inspired by her gender and how it adapts to the ever changing socio-economic environment. She hopes for her work to narrate, describe and inform the audience on the evolving world of women in patriarchal societies.
Prudence grew up in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe and was inspired by sculptors who worked from Chitungwiza Arts Center. She studied at the National Gallery Visual Arts School from 2009 – 2011. Stone sculpture seem to be a male dominated field and this perception became an obstacle to her for a season as she wanted to focus on sculpture.
From 2015 Prudence found collage to be fascinating and she starts collecting material for recycling to produce her work. Prudence’s work is influenced by contemporary African fashion, text and symbols.
