Sobre IBD

Harare has been pulling people into its environs for well over a century. The city’s townships are inhabited by strangers and old acquaintances, hardened old-timers and naive newcomers, who embrace a mixture of languages, traditions and confusions. Wonder Guchu sketches some of these land- and cityscapes, where rumour, reality and urban myth converge. Who was killed to the strains of ’the lion sleeps tonight...’? Where do the ghosts under the bridges live? Who was murdered beside the house with a blue door?
