About Mawetu

Mawetu janda is a cultural, social and political commentator who use his art to respond to happy and fiery events that are constantly unfolding in our society. His art is a weapon by which he teaches people to tolerate things like cultural and gender diversity which is an undeniable face of a free world. His art is a missile - an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy - a politician who exploits his fellow country men for self-enrichment, profit and popularity. I significantly use symbols and ambigraphy to assist me wit the unveiling truth that may be intentionally hidden from the people about a particular event. However, I subtly use symbols and ambigraphy to veil naked truth that might get me into a big trouble.
