The document describes an exhibition called "Tabvezera" held at the Harare Polytechnic featuring works by three artists: Tendayi Shonhiwa, Memory Gurupira, and Pius Nyenyewa. It includes statements by the artists about their backgrounds and artistic practices as well as reviews of the exhibition praising the artists for using their works to challenge social norms and spark debate about socio-environmental issues in Zimbabwe. The exhibition curator Masimba Hwati aims to support emerging Zimbabwean artists and help establish new horizons for art in Zimbabwean society.
The social role of graffiti of protesters of 2019د. صبا الياسري
Artistic achievements over time have links to the human being and his
basic needs. Freedom and demanding rights are among the most
important human needs. What happened in Tahrir Square in the centre
of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, was a cry of freedom and an expression
of my opinion with drawings simulating events. On political and social
life, close to the Monument of Freedom, youthful cartoons were
embodied in a peaceful manner that raises controversy through artistic
expressions in contemporary formulations that challenge reality. As a
result of repression and fear of losing documenting these drawings, the
study attempted to document this special period in the life of Iraq,
which demonstrated the culture of this generation and their awareness
of their rights and duties towards the homeland. It is evident in the
graffiti there is a cultural and artistic awareness and a clear interest in
the cultural heritage. Through analysing the models, there is a focus
on basic concepts indicating the maturity of the demonstrators and
their awareness by emphasizing the martyr through the icon of the
revolution (Safaa al-Saray) and the white shirt to denote peace and the
student majority for the revolution.The emergence of marginalized or
poor strata of society in the common struggle.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
3. abvezera was a presentation of something that has a certain je nais se qoi. Having
spent two years of study with Maradze Shonhiwa and a year with Nyenyewa; the
Tcommon factor is an end. Not the end. Here is two Artists whom have gone through
an education but answered a calling long before they entered the doors of The Art
Department. With Memory Gurupira the feeling, as getting to know her and understand
her work is concerned, one finds this calling also coming long before the institution trained
her. Artists are born and not made. It is a critical argument that goes through, in echoes; the
halls of academies, at cognoscente's high tables and through the grey matter of free
thinkers who are but slaves to time. It is a personal belief. You have it or you do not. Two
percent of this world are artists. Clearly, those who conceive it. Training creates Artists, true.
Trained artists matter. Born Artist is just better!
So this is the end, an end rather for these three who have come of age. In that end is the
legendary world that they now must go out into, to face it and to capture its ugly face, or the
human idea that corrupts the natural aspect of it; Maradze Shonhiwa, Gurupira and
Nyenyewa-magi in the face of obscurity, diseconomy and straightjacket ignorance.
Newfound wisdom will now come to present itself in their work and for the viewer; the
future is through Tabvezera a foundation of an Age of clarity.

“Artists are born and not made. It is a critical argument

4. Tabvezera marks the threshold of Independent thinking and acting for
the artist freshmen who now have to find new ways to connect and relate
themselves to the Novel art universe. Art is a complex sea of ideas,
activities and phenomenon that eventually need to be packaged for
public consumption and benefit. It is rather unfortunate that the stalwart
approach to art teaching currently existing in our nation can be linear and
thereby promoting anti-progressive thinking. This reflects itself in the
inability of the system to holistically empower the freshman with other
skills apart from craft, to enable him to augment his practice. Often the
freshman has to employ survival skills and teach himself the art of
resourcefulness. The new artist faces many obstacles that he has to
overcome chief among them, the national absence of structures to
support and sustain visual art .The new artist has to question convention
and think of new ways to present himself and his practice. Tabvezera is an
exclamation not only for freshman but for every artist who realizes the
imperative need to take matters into their own hands. Sokunge (as if)

If art in Zimbabwe is to be seen as a barometer of our socio-cultural
milieu and our environment, both natural and man-made, then their
Art exhibition Tabvezera, (Coming of Age), bears testimony to this
idea.
The cultural and aesthetic manifestations of present-day Zimbabwe
take into consideration various socio-cultural environments, and set
the tone for re-planning the future egalitarian society in Zimbabwe,
whichmanyyoungartistsandcitizensaspireto.
Among the young artists taking part in this exhibition are those that
aspire for socio-cultural progress and question the history and current
existence of environmental and cultural disorder clearly visible in
manyurbanspacesofZimbabwetoday.Theydrawtheviewertoreflect
not only on new methods and modes of art making, but also on
importantsocio-culturalfacetsofourcollectivelifeasZimbabweans.
These respective young artists have become more introspective and
more questioning on what makes us Zimbabweans and on the space
we occupy. The work displayed is not negative or confrontational;
rather it draws our attention to a positive and pro-active ideology of
recouping, recycling and rearranging discarded material and creating
thought-provokingartoutofurbandebris.
Paintings, photographs, prints and assemblages depicting the varying
rural and urban realities that affect us, as citizens, and transform the
urban landscape into imagery makes the work accessible, visual and
conversational. The artworks give us an insight into the role that art
and culture can play in weaving the social fabric of our daily lives and
rehabilitatingtheurbanchaosfoundinoururbanenvironment.

7. Tendayi Maradze ShoniwaArtists and their works- By Orero
It was in January 2008 when I first met him. 'Zhopa' the tall lanky figure behind me called. I
turned and was tongue-tied as if I was caught in some parallel boundary somewhere off in
Asia:gunspointingatmefrombothsides.MustIrespondtothisman?Whoisheandwhatis
he saying? I said to myself. Accordingly I did what any able bodied seaman would do and
repeated his greeting forthwith.Today conversations in this fanalago ranged from football
to politics, current affairs to computer games and even the location as to which fabric shop
sold the cloth that made most of the garments worn by most of the characters in Rupert the
Bearanditssubsequentbeingblownbyaseparatistmovementofpowermice.
'Zhopa' I replied.This is how I often communicate withTendayi Maradze Shonhiwa.
Many a time has been spent talking of football derbies here and
elsewhere. In common we share the support for Dynamos Football
Club: 'De, de, De-mbare' with a vengeance. Reminiscing another
momentinourfirstyearatanartschool,aninstructoraskedwhywe
choseart?
The usual poesy aboutArt being beautiful,Art making money and
so on, was chanted as the instructor composed the flow of the
dialogue as a conductor before his players. When it came to
Tendayi, his answer was like the first stage of a novel narrated in
thefirstperson-sayAClockworkOrange!
“Ever since I could remember… I have always loved football” the
class burst into laughter, he continued “football is fluid, it has set
rules and I wanted to be a good footballer” at this point the
instructor , more confused than amused attempted to halt
Tendayi's DavidCopperfield account, alas, he continued, “I had
aninjury-soIcouldnotbeasoccerplayer”
Today one thinks of this statement.This story is of an artist who
hashissportatheartandhisheartatsport.ItislikeDuchamp's'
obsession with chess. Manet's with ballet, the Blaue Reiter
group and their horses; football is Tendayi's stream of

11. For all I know I've been an artist ever since I can
remember, from preschool through primary level and
even went on to be president of MsengeziArtClub 2007.
It's only after high school I figured out I had no
interest in anything like law, medicine, or
accounting like the rest of the bunch of
teens my age but only wanted to be
known for my punch kicking art,
luckily for me unlike most local
families my Mom and Dad
supported me on my art career
interest. Somehow I felt like my
calling was more than just drawing,
painting and sculpture which is
quite awesome but a bit more,
more beyond our borders, since I
waswhatsomewouldcallagaming
and cartoon junkie, I thought of
something, something more like
“Animation”, I had finally found
myself. So now I channel my chi
(Chinese word for energy) toward
character design, digital painting,
and motion graphic and visual effects
but still got a lot to learn. I think it's safe
to say my quest for animation is since to
start, it's a pity that we don't really have any
proper animation schools here within the
Zimbabwean borders but all hope is not lost as
