For Zimbabwean-born artist Micha Serraf, memory is closely connected to the idea of home. Drawing on childhood experiences, family histories and displacement, his practice moves between sculpture, drawing and hand-sewn tapestries. His figures often originate as sculptures made in darkness before finding their place within imagined landscapes, bringing together personal recollection, ancestral connections and a search for belonging.

In Mother and Child, Serraf works with wool and cotton, using the intimate, labour-intensive process of hand-stitching to build the composition. The title introduces a relationship central to family life, while the textile medium connects the work to his wider exploration of remembered people and places. Each sewn element contributes to a surface that rewards closer attention, bringing material and personal history into conversation.

70 artists. Over 100 works.

If you haven’t yet, take the time to visit @iziko_sang for Matereality V2, an exhibition bringing together leading voices from across the continent who work with everyday and industrial materials to explore identity, memory and culture.

In a world that is shaped more and more by AI, these works are such an inspiring reminder of the things that still require the human hand. They are beaded, woven, carved, and grappled with, transformed through time, labour and so much skill into something entirely new.

There is so much to see. These are only a few (close up) highlights from the exhibition.
