Billie’s back at Afronova
We couldn’t get enough of her moving and finely detailed delicate tapesteries last time round, we’re delighted to see that Billie Zangewa is back at the quaint Afronova gallery in Newtown with a new showing of her talent till the 13th December… it’s the perfect opportunity to combine a visit to the When life Happens Festival and the Afronova Gallery in the wonderful Newtown precinct… finish it off with dinner at one of the MANY restaurants in the ‘hood. For more info on Billie, read our interview with her in May last year here. GO GO GO. Based in London and traveling extensively, Billie Zangewa has been feeding on her experiences and brings a whole new bag of stories revealing her appetite for life and awareness of the world. More than ever, in her new silk tapestries, Billie comes out as a triumphant African woman, conscious of her roots and fully in touch with her environment. Her intimate universes meet the public realm in daring and original silk tapestries with strong narratives and presence. The cut silk collage and cotton embroidery offer a rich medium with precious textures and sensitive palettes, feminine but never quaint nor decorative.
