MOFFAT TAKADIWA
b. 1983, ZimbabweMoffat Takadiwa (b. 1983, Hurungwe) lives and works in Harare, Zimbabwe. Takadiwa transforms post-consumer waste — such as computer keyboards, bottle tops, toothbrushes and toothbrush tubes, — into lush, densely layered sculptures and tapestry-like wall works and sculptures. A prominent voice from the post-independence artist generation in Zimbabwe, Takadiwa’s work centerstages his Korekore heritage while engaging with themes such as consumerism, inequality, post-colonialism and the environment. Takadiwa is also a founder of Mbare Art Space in Harare where he plays a major role in mentoring the growing artist community, establishing the world’s first artistic center dedicated to repurposing reclaimed materials.
