Taking fine art to the People of Zimbabwe

On the issue of involvement of the public and our society to get to understand what visual arts is all about, Studio Harare has decided that now is the time to move our work from the gallery space to the public space where people have opportunity to encounter and get to know what visual arts is all about because previously and right now, it’s only in galleries where you can see art. We have a society who is so scared to get into a gallery space and see what is happening there because art has been classified.

Finton and his Guitar take on Europe

Tell us about your background and how you entered into the music business?
I grew up in Mutare, in a township/ghetto called Dangamvura, where I learned a lot about life and from where I still take lots of inspiration. My brother Angelicus Tatenda, was the one who was always pushing me into music and encouraging me. When we were still young he enjoyed hearing me sing. Since he passed away of cancer, I still always hear him calling for more songs, I play with the picture that he is listening to me.

Zimbabwe’s Hubs of Innovation

The last few months in Zimbabwe has seen the launch of two Tech Hubs, namely Hypercube and Muzinda Umuzi. To be pedantic Muzinda Umuzi is not a tech hub per se but maybe more of an entrepreneurship hub as it supports any business idea that shows potential rather than those purely in the tech space. Hubs are the latest tech fashion statement. Every African country has one. For example, Kenya has iHub (and others mind you), CCHub in Nigeria, Hivecolab in Uganda and BongoHive in Zambia.

We only managed to fit in up to 19 minutes!

Future of Traditional Leaders in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe has state lands which the government is responsible for and communal lands in rural areas where traditional leaders are responsible. These traditional leaders include the Chief at the top of the hierarchy followed by the Headman then Sabhuku. Traditional leadership is appointed according to lineage and is usually for life. With more than 6 million people living in rural Zimbabwe, traditional leadership still plays an important role. Sabhuku is a chairman of the Village  Development Committee (VIDCO). The committee has a vice chair, secretary, treasurer and 3 other members.

Keeping the faith

A few of months back,we discovered our five month old baby boy had a congenital heart defect which doctors diagnosed upon further examination when they found a large hole in his heart. This condition, we were told would hinder his growth and damage his vital organs if nothing was urgently done about it. To make matters worse, the doctor gave my son a maximum of between 4 and 6 months to live.
