Contact us regarding framing options. In her debut series, African Victorian, Tamary Kudita merged African culture with Victorian aesthetics. Collaborating with a local designer, she crafted Victorian-style dresses from African fabrics, reinterpreting Western visual traditions in an African context. The opulent clothing celebrates African women, making historically invisible figures hyper-visible, and portraying them as assertive, independent, and deeply rooted in their heritage. Tamary Kudita’s work celebrates Zimbabwean stories through art, blending historical and modern aesthetics to craft portraits rich with symbolism, authenticity, and dignity, challenging colonial stereotypes and exploring the depth of African identity.
