This South African ceramicist is using her work to celebrate her Xhosa ancestry, showcasing a range of stories and mystical elements from her background. Zizipho Poswa prefers clay as her medium, and combines it with bronze, using the materials to depict African hairstyles as well as traditional vessel forms. Her recent exhibition, titled “uBuhle boKhokho,” meaning “Beauty of Our Ancestors” incorporated shades of black and bronze throughout, and was very well received in the local artistic community. These ceramics honor and celebrate the culture and heritage of her ancestors while preserving their beauty for generations to come.
