Two Zim Digital Painters To Represent In South Africa

Though appreciated by a niche, art in Zimbabwe is still yet to gain it’s place. When you then bring in digital painting then you have a whole different sphere of art. Perseverance has paid for two digital painters, Dananayi Muwanigwa and Komborerai Chapfika, will represent the country at the Fak’ugesi Digital Africa Residency in South Africa.

The Fak’ugesi Digital Africa Residency is an annual, month-long programme that supports young African digital creative’s.

Launched in 2014, the month long residency leads to the festival. Last year, Zimbabwe was represented by Vuyi Chaza.

This year’s residency will run from August 14 to Sepetember 16. There event categories include Creative Tech, Curating, Fak’ugesi Residency and Technology Art.

The theme is ‘Brave Hearts Beat as One’ which begins with a conference in Johannesburg and a festival is slated for September 6 to 15 in Braamfontein.

Komborerai Chapfika, a multi-disciplinary visual artist, said the residency will be a platform for learning and networking.

Dan Muwanigwa is a self-taught digital artist, whose work can be seen in the Comexposed comic books, Art station and on his social media pages.
