Fadzai Veronica Muchemwa

Fadzai Veronica Muchemwa is a curator, researcher, and writer based in Harare, Zimbabwe. She currently works as the Curator of Contemporary Art at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe. Her work spans contemporary art, sound, and archives, with a focus on decolonial practices, ecological justice, and Pan-African cultural exchange. She has curated projects, including The Oxymoronic Tea Party and Nyami Nyami: Ancestral Frequencies, and her writing explores the intersections of art, activism, and social transformation. In 2024, she established an itinerant project, Chikuruhuhwa. Her research interests include food and seed sovereignty, care in practice, and social justice issues, with a particular focus on notions of dissent and how discourses exclude or suppress them. She is primarily concerned with how artistic practices rooted in small acts of care and solidarity resist different forms of negating experience, creating alternative spaces of relation and survival. Through both curatorial and scholarly practice, she seeks to foreground art as a critical method of resistance, repair, and imagining otherwise.
