A practice shaped by the city.

In 2016, Stitch Me Up brought video and music to Kalashnikovv Gallery in a presentation hosted by the Wits City Institute. The installation explored Ruzza’s experience of Hillbrow, migration and making a home.

Made in Johannesburg, featured by NOWNESS, brings skateboarding, character and movement into the city’s architectural spaces. Purpose of Art, made in collaboration with Roger Ballen, continues the AFRO SUPERHERO universe through film, sound and performance.
