Zimbabwe Space Station

Zimbabwe Space Station

This is an ongoing project to depict a Zimbabwe Space Station, which draws on the iconic forms of Great Zimbabwe in a symbol of future African achievement in interplanetary exploration, in collaboration with Zimbabwean immigrant street wire artists in Southern Africa. The project works through image and sculpture: a public artwork in Cape Town, South Africa, installed in 2015, depicts the work in graphic form, while work is ongoing on a flying drone sculpture, which undertook it’s maiden flight in Cape Town in 2019.
