Chaz Maviyane-Davies has been described by the UK’s Designmagazine as “the guerrilla of graphic design.” For more than three decades the award-winning, controversial designer’s powerful work has taken on issues of consumerism, health, politics, social responsibility, the environment, and human rights. He has studied (an MA at the Central School of Art and Design in London) and worked in Britain, Japan, Malaysia, the US, and Zimbabwe, his country of origin. From 1983 until recently, he ran The Maviyane-Project, a renowned design studio in Harare, Zimbabwe. Due to adverse political conditions in his homeland and the confrontational nature of his work, Chaz moved to the USA in 2001, where he is currently a professor of design at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. As well as being published in numerous books, international magazines, and newspapers, his work has been exhibited extensively and is included in several permanent collections at various galleries. In 2009, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
