VIFICHWAVYO (The Hidden) A Photo Exhibition by Gertrude Malizeni (TZ)
VIFICHWAVYO is a powerful photography exhibition by Tanzanian visual artist and filmmaker Gertrude Malizeni. Blending photography and collage, the exhibition pays homage to the everyday strength, care, and resilience of women—particularly those working in informal sectors. Inspired by the artist’s late mother and shaped by personal encounters with women across Tanzania, VIFICHWAVYO is a heartfelt tribute to those who mother the world in often unseen ways.
From food vendors and hairdressers to salt harvesters and stone crushers, these women form the quiet backbone of their communities. Through intimate portraits and layered symbolism, Gertrude invites us to see the labour, love, and presence of these women not as background noise, but as essential forces of life. This is a visual love letter and a powerful reminder of the unacknowledged work that keeps the world moving forward.
