大象传媒

Internationally-acclaimed textile artist, Billie Zangewa calls her work 鈥渄aily feminism鈥�. Crafted in silk with thousands of tiny hand sewn stitches, her creations explore the themes of feminine strength and the power of family.

As part of the 大象传媒's 100 Women season in 2021, In The Studio joins Billie at her kitchen table in Johannesburg as she creates her latest works - visions brought to life amid one of the harshest Covid lockdowns in the world, and riots that left hundreds dead. All the while, home-schooling her 8-year-old son at the same table.

Journalist Vauldi Carelse is invited into the Malawian-born artist鈥檚 home as she transforms raw silk into intricate tapestries for solo shows opening in Seoul and London this year.
