So impressive was his work that the university faculty named him Most Promising Art Student.
His art-work has been exhibited at the prestigious Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and documenta13, the mega-exhibition of contemporary art that takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany.
Kudzanai’s film Iyeza has been selected to be screened as part of the short films programme at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Iyeza was one of only three African-based short films to be selected. — Forbes.com
