Portrait of Yvonne Chaka Chaka — Walls work, 2018, Johannesburg, South Africa

This portrait of Yvonne Chaka Chaka, known as the Princess of Africa, rises from the façade of The Cosmopolitan building in Johannesburg's Maboneng district, part of the Making the Invisible Visible series. The work reaches past Chaka Chaka's music career to acknowledge her commitment to education, health and social development across the continent. Carved directly into the building, the portrait sits within the daily routine of the city she continues to inspire.
