Dana Whabira is a Zimbabwean artist whose parentage and cultural heritage echoes from Argentina, Poland, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Born in London to immigrant parents, father in political exile, and moving home to the new Zimbabwe her work mirrors this complex interplay of post independence euphoria and coloniality. An architect by training, Whabira studied art and design at Central Saint Martin’s College in London (2011). Her first solo exhibition “Suspended in Animation” was held at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe (2013) and she has participated in group shows in Johannesburg (2015), Pretoria (2015) and Harare (2012), in addition to taking up art residencies and giving talks locally and internationally. She represented Zimbabwe at the 57th Venice Biennale (2017) and will participate at the Dak’Art Biennale (2018).
