Our guest in this episode is Zii Nzira, who is currently the Co-CEO of Multicultural Arts Victoria. Having migrated to Australia from Zimbabwe in pursuit of an education in I.T, Zii has been able to evolve and establish a creative practice, under the name ZIIMUSIC. Through this he has not only managed to launch a multidisciplinary practice, but has also been able to create platforms and opportunities for individuals within his community. Hear Zii’s story from, lessons from his parents to, IT aspirations to becoming an Arts and Business Leader and Entrepreneur; how he describes the push and pull in his heart and head when he enters traditional white spaces and how he navigates this daily by designing and creating a future for himself and others. He gifts us a history lesson in how art became commodified and commercialised, a perspective that everyone should hear as the balancing act continues between the creator and consumer of Art. Hear his call to action at the end to leaders when designing how things should be… he says we should really consider how things are and were. Please enjoy the servant heart leader, Zii Nzira.
