Pecking Posh
Description
Pecking Posh transforms one of Zimbabwe’s most familiar creatures—the humble Road Runner chicken, a favourite national dish—into an unexpected icon of elegance. Willard Magiga dresses the bird in a stylish hat and patterned shawl, playfully elevating it from everyday food to a figure of humour and dignity. This contrast challenges how society assigns value: what is ordinary can become extraordinary with a shift in perspective. Through rich textures, warm tones, and witty symbolism, Magiga invites viewers to smile while reflecting on identity, status, and the surprising grace found in the most common parts of Zimbabwean life.Try it!
