A few words about your artistic career

I am continually evolving as a visual storyteller. 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.

How long have you been an artist?

I've been an artist for just over twenty years and I've been experimenting with virtual reality for two years.

Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?

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.

What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?

I'll be creating more visual and VR content about Zimbabwean culture and taking a professional course in augmented and virtual reality.
