Fungai Marima
£0.00
Fungai Marima’s work is influenced by ideas around the materiality of the body and its relationship to archiving.
Looking into themes of displacement, memory, identity, and trauma. Marima uses methodologies within printmaking to assist in her production of artwork, in relation to thinking through making, process, object making and the archive. She physically uses the body to expose personal and collective narratives of the human experience that are often silenced/ignored within contemporary culture.
Her recent works, Sununguka, a collaborative piece with researchers at the Pitt Rivers Museum focuses on looking at sound/dance instruments at the museum. The work is in response to the demand to recognise these belongings in the museum as living cultures, as part of the making of life worlds in the present. It is a proposal for breaking free from containment, opening up space for exploring practices of embodiment and material encounters. An untying of the body and mind through movement, an unbinding of static and container forms that live through histories of museumisation and the carceral logics that accompany them.
Marima graduated from Camberwell College of Art in 2020 with a MA in Fine Art
Printmaking. She has exhibited and presented at the Theodore Monod African art Museum 2024, New Art Exchange and at the IMPACT12 Impact Printmaking Conference 2022. As well as being featured in many publications, her work is in private collections across the UK.
