MMMAKING MEANS

MAKING MEANS connects Zimbabwean artists living abroad with local creative organizations in Zimbabwe, creating opportunities for collaboration through art, conversation, and exchange. Through an online exhibition and sale of artworks, the project explores how these collaborations can generate resources for locally led creative initiatives.
