In 2018, I was voted in the Top 20 contemporary African artists with the potential to shape and inspire the global scene. In 2019, my project was selected as one of the top 6 VR projects by Digital Lab Africa.<\/p>\n<h3>How long have you been an artist?<\/h3>\n<p>I've been an artist for just over twenty years and I've been experimenting with virtual reality for two years.<\/p>\n<h3>Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?<\/h3>\n<p>I wanted to give myself the opportunity to explore my 'artistic self' by telling stories in a different way. I can concentrate on the creative process from ideation to final presentation rather than worrying about expenses such as accommodation, transport, internet access and where the next meal is coming from.<\/p>\n<h3>What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?<\/h3>\n<p>I'll be creating more visual and VR content about Zimbabwean culture and taking a professional course in augmented and virtual reality.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-14117 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/africalia.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cil_-_charmaine_chitate-jpg.webp'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/africalia.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cil_-_charmaine_chitate-150x150.webp\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"cil_-_charmaine_chitate.jpg\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h3>Charmaine Chitate<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li> AGE: 36<\/li>\n<li> COUNTRY of residence: Zimbabwe<\/li>\n<li> CITY: Harare<\/li>\n<li> ARTISTIC DISCIPLINE: Storytelling, photography, videography and virtual reality<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":14116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1042],"tags":[],"pays":[1035],"class_list":["post-14117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bourses-creativity-is-life","pays-zimbabwe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14117\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14117"},{"taxonomy":"pays","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pays?post=14117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
