"As our computer equipment becomes outdated, we'll be
sending it to Saki, and there are many possibilities for faculty
exchanges, joint online projects, and other collaboration:'
-Margaret Morton, Cooper Union
the Arts, the Media Lab, San Francisco State University,
and the London College of Printing. "The Internet makes it
possible to share different ways of thinking, new ideas. Our
students will be able to interact with students in America or
England or Japan without leaving home."
Mafundikwa's vision for ZIVA includes reaching out to
people who may not have the means to pursue an education
in design or computers. "If I see somebody in the country—
this happens all the time—some really gifted young person
who's basically wasting away, I'll take him in. And we'll not
be ignoring an important segment of the population—women
who want computer skills. There's massive unemployment
in Zimbabwe. For women especially, having those skills could
mean a lot of work for them."
Eventually, ZIVA plans to provide a three-year Bachelor of
Arts degree with majors in graphic design, multimedia, video,
film, illustration, and photography, both traditional and digital
applications. Another part of the ZIVA plan is an effort to
archive and digitize the national collections and the Zimbabwean
design iconography for easier access by the rest of the
world, either as a site that can be accessed online or as a
CD-ROM.
For Z IVA 'S site on the World Wide Web, Saki Mafundikwa
is designing a home page based on an aerial view of the Great
Zimbabwe, the medieval stone structure that gives Zimbabwe
its name. (The word zimbabwe in the Shona language means
"houses made of stone.") This huge walled city of concentric,
fitted-stone circles, which dates from the twelfth century, is
one of the architectural wonders of the world. "The aerial view
of it is my metaphor for the website," Saki says. Z IVA'S logo is
also based on the shapes of the stones in the Great Zimbabwe.
"I call it the ZIVA font. As soon as we're up and running, I'd
like the students to design the rest of the ZIVA font. This would
show them that you can create your fonts on your experience—
the bricks become the font. And there's so much in Zimbabwean
culture that we can tap into. Like the Mbira font —I see it
in my head."
SAKI MAFUNDIKWA is happy to accept donations of hardware and
software that may be outdated in the West but would be quite useful to
his students. His needs at present are for 80486 or newer PCs, and
Macintoshes of any configuration, and software that will run on those
systems. Contact ZIVA at 263-4-884647 in Harare, or send e-mail to
mafundik@africaonline.co.zw .
