With an emphasis on sculptural work, Hwati collects historical, culturally imbued items ranging from cars and shoes, to scrap metal and found objects, altering and repositioning them in a contemporary urban setting.[5]Masimba Hwati was named amongst 12 "The Ones to Watch" by New African Magazine[6] ahead of the 1-54 Contemporary Art Fair in London at Somerset House. Awards and honorsIn 2006 he won the National Art Merit Award, the highest individual art honour in Zimbabwe. Hwati is one of three national representatives currently showing at the Zimbabwean Pavilion exhibition; Pixels Of Ubuntu/Unhu at the 56th Venice Biennale.[7][5] Selected exhibitions
