Shumba has created an installation of charcoal drawings influenced by the evidential and documentary values of photography, particularly referencing 19th century daguerreotype plates and the work of American photojournalist J. Ross Bauman's 1978 Pulitzer Prize winning sequence of photographs following the Grey's Scouts, a Rhodesian mounted infantry and their brutal treatment of suspected guerrillas as part of inland security activity. Featuring a dystopian fiction that imagines a time-traveling military corps, the Salt Corps agents, activating a revisitation and surveyance of British colonial-era Rhodesia, now the Republic of Zimbabwe, Shumba explores the settler-colonial perspective and proprietary pursuit to discover, conquer and extract from a landscape and people that remain deeply scarred by trauma.
