LEGACYThe place where it happens
Youth explored how politics, economics, and everyday choices collide in a changing capital city.
Cultural exchange
What we learn
We learn how youth tell truth in coded ways—humor, metaphor, music—when directness is risky.
What we share
We share devising tools that protect voice while making the work legible to an audience.
Community & context
Harare is a city of sharp contrast—aspiration and constraint living side by side. The ensemble helped youth stage that reality with clarity and style.
