About the Artwork –

 This remarkable giclée print pays tribute to Queen Lozikeyi, a revered leader from the Ndebele tribe of Zimbabwe. Known for her wisdom, strength, and unwavering leadership, Queen Lozikeyi became a symbol of resilience during a time of great turmoil. After King Lobengula’s disappearance in 1893, she stepped into the role of acting head of state, guiding her people through a critical period.

In this captivating portrayal, Queen Lozikeyi is depicted leading a zebra, symbolizing her grace and determination. Her attire, inspired by the Himba tribe of Namibia, features the iconic red ochre paste that highlights the beauty and cultural pride of Himba women. Jedidah, the artist, draws inspiration from the Himba and Ndebele cultures, beautifully blending these influences into a striking piece of Ndebele art.

Authentic Giclée Print Inspired by Zimbabwe’s Landscape

The vivid background of this artwork reflects Jedidah’s connection to Zimbabwe’s natural beauty. Based on a family photograph, the rich colors and serene bushland evoke the essence of the land that Queen Lozikeyi fought to protect. This Ndebele art piece celebrates both cultural heritage and the artist’s personal experiences growing up in Africa.

Honoring Queen Lozikeyi’s Leadership

Queen Lozikeyi was not just a leader but a strategist and a unifying figure for her people. As Queen Regent, she played a vital role in organizing resistance against colonial forces during the First Chimurenga War, often referred to as the War of the Red Axe.
