Description: Commissioned by the National Arts Festival, Berni Searle created a four-screen multi-channel video installation, A Place in the Sun, which cooperated perfectly with the four wall compartments of the rotunda-shaped Gallery in the Round in the basement of the 1820 Settlers Monument. With the shifting of lights, the video symbolically indicates a full day at a drained swimming pool, from morning to sunset until the whole scene turns into ashes and darkness.

Description: Kresiah Mukwazhi is a Harare-based multidisciplinary artist who is a Fellow of the “Arts of Africa and Global Souths” Residencies for Artists and Writers (RAW) programme in the Fine Art Department at Rhodes University in Makhanda, South Africa. During the 2019 National Arts Festival, she performed Summoned from Luzari as part of the Arts Lounge festival programme. Her two-months residency resulted in the Although I am Young, I am the Mother of this House open studio session in which the audience was invited to engage with the artist and the ideas she has been, is and will be working on. The persona Hes Keresiya, which came to life on that day, is one of the ideas. In this conversation, Barnabas Ticha Muvhuti asks Mukwazhi about her work during the residency and her artistic practice in general.
