Zimfest is an annual celebration of Zimbabwean music, food and culture held in cities around the world that where expat Zimbaweans and friends of Zimbabwe live. The event was set up to bring the Zimbabwean community together while opening up opportunities to raise funds and awareness for various Zimbabwean causes.
This event was made up of three stages: the live stage, acoustic stage and Zim house stage. As Production & Stage Manager, I had the pleasure of putting artists like Thomas Mapfumo, ExQ, Winky D and Nego True on. This was a powerful cultural moment and to help activate it from a production and technical perspective was great!
