In this introductory episode, host dillion s. phiri shares his vision for "Creativity Knows No Borders," a podcast exploring how migration shapes creative expression in Africa. As a Zimbabwe-Malawian creative based in Johannesburg, dillion draws from his personal experience and extensive work with Creative Nestlings to examine how foreign creatives navigate borders, bureaucracy, and building communities across the continent. He introduces the inspiration behind the series and previews conversations with photographers, artists, musicians, filmmakers, and designers who are creating impactful work while navigating life as African creatives in different countries. The episode sets the stage for exploring how creativity truly transcends boundaries and why free movement across Africa is crucial for cultural and economic growth.
