Harare International Festival of Arts 2017
The Harare International Festival of Arts is back. It was cancelled last year because of a lack of funds. But between May 2 -7, 2017, it offered Zimbabweans music, dance, theater and the visual arts.

'Staging an intervention' was the theme for this year's Harare International Festival of Arts. The 'intervention' was to help Zimbabweans - through the medium of the arts - to forget for a moment the struggle to make ends meet in a dilapidated economy.
