A co-founder of Mbare Art Space, Moffat Takadiwa has gained global recognition for his compelling wall sculptures crafted from found objects. Takadiwa creates large format sculptures from materials found in garbage dumps, notably computer parts, plastic bottle-caps, toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes.

Belonging to the post- independence generation, his work reflects his preoccupation with issues such as consumerism, inequality, post- colonialism and the environment. Since the earliest days of his artistic career, he has used his practice as a platform for the rehabilitation of his community, working with young local artists and designers, with a view to founding the world’s first artistic centre based on the use of reclaimed materials.
