In 1991, I helped initiate ZWICCT Zimbabwean Women in Contemporary Culture Trust in Harare, in collaboration with my colleagues Tisa Chifunyise, Ann Holmes, Fiona Lloyd and Margaret Waller. Celebrating women cultural workers of Zimbabwe by building a long-term database, we sought to find who was working in the different cultural fields. Our vision was to share various experiences and creative practices to try ending the social discouragement of young and older women to work creatively and together in cultural forms and media.
