Background

edit

Eva’s father was an agricultural extension worker, tasked with teaching modern agriculture in different districts of Malawi. Moving to many districts across the country, young Eva would enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places.[5]

Eva’s art has been considered controversial. At times, she has been censored out of exhibition halls. A great believer in artistic freedom, she believes the so-called controversial art can uproot evil and transform societies.
