- Description
- Stary Mwaba, an MFA candidate in the Arts of Africa and the Global South research team in the Fine Art Department, presented a paper on his installation, Chinese Cabbage, which was first displayed in his solo exhibition, Life on Mars, at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Germany in 2015. At the Africa–China symposium, Mwaba talked about his personal inroad into the Zambia–China debate, which draws from a family history of living along the Tazara Railway that was built by the Chinese in the 1960s, as well as the experience of his daughter attending a Chinese-run international school in Lusaka. Mwaba is currently expanding this research as part of his MFA studies at Rhodes by collecting oral narratives along the line of rail in Zambia and by addressing, through his painting practice, issues pertinent to the controversial copper slug known as Black Mountain in Kitwe.
