Rumbie Nyongoro is interested in exploring themes of escapism and slowness by creating an approachable space and atmosphere, to creatively use installations as a form of refuge so the audience can escape from their busy life to recharge their own batteries as the world can be draining. This is why slow movement is important within her practice as it takes inspiration from nature and organic forms as it serves as a reminder to take care of ourselves and to be able to recognise when not to push ourselves and have pockets of self-care. Rumbie’s practice is mainly installation and digital-based, trying to combine those two elements into a new perspective of interacting with art. She has worked with other media like AR, rendered images and miniature installations thinking about how we use and see art outside the white cube and within different environments making art accessible, and creating new experiences in approaching art beyond the frames of white walls.
