Guests - Otakukon Anime Festival 2026

Wynona Mutisi is a Harare-based illustrator, layout designer and art director. She has a background in fine art with a special focus on printmaking, digital art and bookbinding. She works for a pan-African newspaper called The Continent. She recently won an Award of Excellence from the Society for News Design for one of her newspaper cover illustrations. 

Her practice is largely a mix of slice of life illustrative work and visual journalism using colour to convey beauty in both the mundane and thematically heavy subjects. Outside of the newspaper, Wynona’s work includes projects with global institutions and newsrooms such as Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, Global Press Journal, Oxford Brookes Poetry Centre, and Tufts University. When she is not making art, Wynona enjoys writing about art and visual culture in Africa.
