INFINITIES COMMISSIONS – nora chipaumire: GADZI

For the new annual commission, Zimbabwean movement artist nora chipaumire brings her boundary-breaking work to the Tanks

The second Infinities Commission artist, nora chipaumire, is known for her powerful and thought-provoking explorations of political identity and personal storytelling. For this visionary new work for the Tanks, chipaumire will unite dance, theatre, music, film, and sculpture to create an immersive experience.

By all means necessary, the artist’s work draws on influences ranging from punk to Shona spirituality, bringing to bear everything she has experienced in her life so far. Through rigorous attention to movement and space, chipaumire’s practice asks: What is the meaning of balance? How do we find equilibrium? Are these even the right questions for our time?

For her upcoming commission with Tate Modern, chipaumire will invite audiences to join her in grappling with these essential questions in a space where work is humanizing and ennobling.

Performances will take place in the space 26-27 June.
