Billie Zangewa

Billie Zangewa (born in 1973 in Blantyre, Malawi) is a Malawian artist who hand sews silk fabrics to create collage tapestries, and who now lives in Johannesburg. Since 2004, her art has featured in international exhibitions including at the Paris Art Fair at the Grand Palais in Paris.

Zangewa's work is autobiographical and centralizes Black femininity and everyday domesticity and motherhood. Her artistic approach is indicative of the artist's expressing resistance to the oppression she faces through self-love.
