What started as a Facebook post and #eartotheground, evolved into an award-winning multifaceted media entity with probably the best African arts news website in the world, nearly 1,000 articles published, a wealth of digital content across various platforms, an annual festival and creative business conference (AMPLIFAYA), a TV show, a groundbreaking mobile studio (the KOMBI STATION), stirring critical national creative conversations, 3 National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) nominations, and so much more.
Six years ago, I embarked on a journey fueled by passion, driven by vision, and guided by a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of African creativity – Plot Mhako, founder.
earGROUND is now at the vanguard of Zimbabwean and African arts culture, dedicated to documenting and amplifying emerging and established luminaries.
