Under the shade

Masudi's paintings remind us that people are more than what popular narratives about their places of origin suggest. Through his lens, people are presented as individuals with pride, dreams and optimism. The displaced migrant often experience a sense of loss of identity when settling in a new country. Without an established presence or equal access to opportunities they become nameless and faceless. Tafadzwa Masudi's characters represent that moment of introspection when they remind themselves of their dreams and aspirations.
