Rory Kahiya Tsapayi is a 2021 graduate in Journalism and Art History from Northwestern University. Raised in Zimbabwe and educated in the United States, their work is driven by a desire to connect twentieth-century Black histories on and off the continent through visual media, especially social documentary photography. Most recently, they explored anti-apartheid photography and magazine publishing in 1980s South Africa in a J. Carson Webster Prize-winning Honors Thesis in Art History. Having worked as a librarian at the Stony Island Arts Bank, a docent at the Block Museum of Art, and an arts and culture reporter at the Daily Maverick (Cape Town), Rory’s practices are archival, journalistic, educational, and artistic.
