Disruptive Dialogues: poets respond to Dambduzo Marechera
Disruptive Dialogues: poets respond to Dambduzo Marechera
As the Disruptive Dialogues exhibition shows, Dambudzo Marechera was not just an author but a creative facilitator too, encouraging and mentoring fellow writers. When he returned to Harare, Marechera worked as a teacher, briefly ran his own literary agency, and was often an inspirational figure, concerned about the kind of publishing infrastructure that might emerge in the new Zimbabwe.
In this spirit, the Disruptive Dialogues project commissioned four poets to create work in response to Marechera’s writings.
In this booklet you will find compelling new poetry by Fahad Al-Amoudi, Tanatsei Gambura, Jennifer Wong, and Belinda Zhawi, together with QR codes and links that will allow you to listen to recordings of the poets reading their work.
