May 2025 - August 2025: Nothing to declare. Nothing to share.
We’re proud to welcome Tatenda Magaisa as a 2025 BLVCK BLOCK resident.
Johannesburg-based artist, writer, researcher, and cultural producer, Magaisa works across various mediums. Her practice draws from horror, fantasy, and sci-fi genres to explore the presence of Black women in popular culture, the burden of surplus labour, and cultural dominance.
Rooted in speculative world-building and grounded by a sketchbook practice, her work often begins with text and image, expanding into meditative paintings where reality and fantasy blur. She finds resolution in a restrained colour palette, with reds and pinks currently dominating to shift the atmosphere and push the work beyond reality.
We’re excited to witness her growth and the new directions in her work during her time with us.
