Workshop 4WABWA goes to MUCUF

This has got to be one of the most humbling experiences for FLAME, to be surrounded by women who are so eager to share their art and life stories and how among themselves they could relate like one family unit.

FLAME workshop for women artists by women artists met with women artists at Murewa Culture Centre during the festivity of Murewa Uzumba Marambapfungwe Cultural Festival on Thursday, 25 October.  Over 34 women artists drawn from visual, dance, music, sculpture and among them prison inmates from Murewa Prison met for the first time in a workshop like this to share and learn with women artists from Harare, Tariro Ruzvidzo & Theresa Muchemwa who were facilitators for the workshop.

This workshop attracted women artists of all ages. Murewa is known for Jerusarema/Mbende  dance, so it's no wonder why most of the women are traditional dancers and they pride themselves of carrying the traditional dance heritage in Murewa.
