Eugenia Chirenje

ZAP — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:35:50 +0000

Eugenia was born in 1961 in Mondoro and studied through 7th grade at St. Michael’s Mission. She came to Weya in 1986 to be married, and learned to paint in 1990. “I wanted to get money to buy food.” She chose sadza painting “because it was easy.”
Eugenia’s favorite topics for her art are chenura (bringing home ancestral spirits) “because it is our culture,” and traditional dancing. “These are things we are always experiencing in our homes.”

This documentary shares the stories of the artists of Weya in their own words. Their voices offer a connection to African women as strong, talented and fully capable human beings. You will see that with just ten fingers, a great deal is possible.
