Zethu Maseko is a London-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans multi-technique textiles and sound. With a focus on her ancestral homeland of Southern Africa, she has exhibited internationally and collaborated with institutions through socially engaged projects.

Zethu creates tufted and multi-technique tapestries and wall hangings that emerge through slow, tactile processes, often using natural dyes, recycled materials, and symbolic forms. Her work explores water as an archive of lived experience, ancestral knowledge, and memory. Through her textiles, Zethu positions fabric as a medium of repair, remembrance, and storytelling, inviting audiences to reflect on the interplay between environment, mythology, and womanhood. 

Alongside her artistic practice, Zethu has worked extensively with women’s groups internationally, in South Africa, Eswatini, and across the UK, leading empowering textile-based workshops that support women in reclaiming agency, rebuilding confidence, and expressing their narratives creatively. These workshops often centre women who have experienced social, cultural, or systemic harm, using art-making as a tool for restoration, community-building, and collective strength.
