Bring Washboards & Mirrors Tat’ Zanemvula
Washboards and Mirrors is a visual artistic exposition of one of our remarkable authors in Southern Africa and the United States alive today. And like the fictional worlds Mda has constructed over the years the exhibition resists straight-jacketing.

BRIEF…
Intrabyte: This work can be seen at this year's SASOL New Signatures Art Competition on at the Pretoria Art Museum until 09 January 2022.
