I received the sad news that Ambuya Stella Chiweshe Rambisai, this wonderful woman, my colleague, friend and godmother of my daughter Aylin, has passed away. The ancestors called her home. She was 76 years old.
It was during the Festival Voix de Femmes (Festival of Women’s Voices), in April 1991 in Liege, Belgium, where our paths crossed for the first time. Since then, we met and worked together a lot of times. Not only that I could invite them to different festivals, workshops and collaborations, we also shared common projects, visions and dreams. She opened the door to an unknown world for me and I entered it full of amazement and with a lot of respect. And now, without warning, she flew away on her soft angel wings. I miss her and I’m very sad.
