We are Juma Mkwela and Nyasha Mashumba, Cape Town-based artists who transform recycled corrugated zinc - often scarred by fire or age - into fine art that tells a story of resilience in South African townships. Our work is born from the belief that beauty can rise from ruin. Each piece carries the spirit of survival, dignity, and transformation, turning the scars of fire, rust, and decay into powerful symbols of rebirth.
Our Vision
“Buy Art. Build Homes. Transform Lives."
We envision a South Africa where art becomes a bridge between creativity and community upliftment. Every artwork made from discarded zinc contributes directly to rebuilding the lives and spaces destroyed by fire.
