Ziza
​
'My work reflects a raw and expressive energy drawn from a range of personal experiences. It is informed by both my African heritage and the Western environments in which I live. Naturally, those influences continue to shape my artistic practice.'
​
Ziza is an artist whose practice is continuously evolving, shaped by a sustained curiosity about human experience.
Born in Rwanda, and based in Gateshead and London, his work engages with performance, installation, sound, movement, and voice, often combining these mediums to explore ideas that respond to an ever-changing world in relation to hidden/erased narratives.
Ziza's practice shifts in form and focus over time. Though, an ongoing investigation into how beauty is perceived in various cultural contexts remain central to his work. He works experimentally, using research and process-led approaches to uncover new possibilities and to engage with themes that question conventions, belief systems, and binary or cultural norms.
