Ngoromera is a Shona word that means ‘to fight ‘or ‘struggle’ and is part of the UMMA (University of Michigan Museum of Art) collection . The work comes out of a fascination with the idea of how struggle can be both a depleting and beautiful process. The sculptural work explores an attenuated militant aesthetic using objects such as spears trumpets and bugles altering and modifying them to produce new sounds. Intentionally making them harder to play. The activation of the sculpture follows an interest in the beautifully awkward and uncanny results that can come out of a struggle. Ngoromera was activated at UMMA together with Kaleigh Wilder, Everett Reid.
