Zadde by Viga Joshua, is an exploration of the symbol of the banana fibre doll, the materiality of it and how that constructs imaginaries of parenthood, childhood and intersections between the two states of being. The material used in this exhibition is important because through wholly organic processes the doll is created. In most Ugandan traditional settings this is one of the first acts of creation and propagation by the child. The doll embodies this organic element even in abstraction, it has no fixed state embodied in it; its persona is dynamic and fluid, just as the imaginary of the child is.
