Collaborative digital content creation
Vocalists, Poets, producers and digital artists used their skills and knowledge gained from the workshops to collaborate in creating new digital content. 20 Creatives from Zimbabwe and the UK were selected and group into 5 groups of 4. Each group was challenged to collaborate remotely to create audio-visual content that was packaged as the Vocal Vinyl Vortex EP. The teams were given the theme AGAINST ALL ODDS and Each group created unique creative outputs that where showcased on an exclusive 2 hour radio show on Reprezent Radio. This provided an international platform for the Zimbabwean creatives to reach broader audiences.
