About
This work is a public installation that manifests Pasipanodya’s research-based practice, centered on southern African ways of being, ways of knowing, and aesthetics from a diasporic lens. Dura will be a structural interpretation of a traditional Zimbabwean communal granary. It considers the tensions between abundance/ scarcity while at Fort York Historical Site, a meeting place of military and migrant histories, geographical tributaries and myriad communities.
