Hey there, I’m Moreblessing Maturure. A Zimbabwean/ Australian inter-disciplinary artist, TEDx Speaker and the founder of FOLK Magazine.*
I’ve always had an inkling that in the future, I wouldn’t find myself in an office working a 9-to-5. Turns out it’s sitting infant of my laptop in various rooms almost 24/7 being inspired, sending invoices, and taking things from in my head into shared space. Growing up in a majority-white country did expose me to experiences I may not have had back home, for better or worse; and these experiences greatly shape the work I create and invest my time and money into. I aim to further expand my practice while creating greater opportunities for other Artists of Colour.
There are so many stories out there which are yet to be told, generations of stories and storytellers who’ve been deprived of their voice. Because I want- no- need change, and the best marker of change is culture, and who creates culture? Our artists, our storytellers, our makers. So why not create, and inspire the best version of the world into being?
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
Most days you’ll find this nap-deprived artist having her 2nd coffee at a cafe with free wifi, using university databases to understand why the world is the way it is.
