Lizette Chirrime

Lizette Chirrime’s fabric collages are detailed and autobiographical by reflecting her life’s journey and dreams. The artist often incorporates interesting recycled and discarded materials in her artwork. The result is a crossover between the fine and applied arts and fashion design. Informed by an awareness of the negative impact that the action of human beings has on the environment and the often-unappreciated role women play in society, she hopes to inspire and evoke change.

Born in Maputo, Mozambique and having lived and worked in Cape Town for a number of years, Chirrime moved back to Mozambique and currently lives and works in Maputo.
