Notes : Richard Mudariki’s work serves as a reminder of the critical importance of art as a means to examine and critique society.Steeped in allegorical references to contemporary politics, particularly relating to the African continent and his native country of Zimbabwe, Mudariki skillfully and playfully uses elements of theatre to explore significantly more serious socio-political issues. The result is a witty satire which errs on the side of absurdity.Pulling the Strings featured in Mudariki’s mid-career retrospective exhibition Mutara Wenguva (Time Line) at the Sanlam Art Gallery in 2017. An extensive catalogue of the artist’s work was published alongside the exhibition.Mudariki has exhibited widely both locally and internationally, and recently worked as the artist in residence at Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town.
