That evening sun goes down

Inspired by a billboard in Zimbabwe's capital city, Tamary Kudita's That Evening Sun Goes Down celebrates the strength of family bonds forged in daily life. The artwork takes its title from the Shona proverb 'Ukama Ugasva,' meaning 'strong family bonds'. It depicts women gathered for a meal, referencing the billboard's message of solidarity found in ordinary acts. Kudita elevates the seemingly mundane act of cooking to a monumental act of togetherness. Set against an African ceremonial landscape, the women embody the importance of shared meals in uniting families and communities. The piece explores the significance of staple foods and the concept of national identity woven into the fabric of everyday life.
