Reflections of the Soul in Art and Natural Medicine with Lizette Chirrime

Nampula is the capital city of Nampula Province in Northern Mozambique. The third largest city in Mozambique, its unique geo location makes it a central point into Mozambique from different parts of Southern Africa. With a pristine coastline only 150 kilometers away from the Nampula City, it remains an attractive holiday destination for locals and visitors, alike.

Lizette Chirrime was cocooned in her creative eco system, when she joined Ruth for a conversation. In Mozambique, settled on her perch by the shores of the gloriously temperate Indian Ocean, her backdrop included frolicking whales and dolphins in the turquoise waters, and foraging chickens guarded by a crowing rooster, on land.

Ruth and Lizette flowed into the conversation, prompted by some reminiscing of their first meeting at yet another notable exhibition of Lizette’s, held in Cape Town.

Plainly speaking, Lizette Chirrime is a tour de force in herself, her formidable spirit having risen almost literally from ashes, to craft the notable artist she is known to be. In the conversation her love for family is clear, rooted in fondness for her father, and her respect for the unique history of Mozambique, remembered through the late President Samora Machel. It’s clear that Lizette is firmly rooted in Africa.

Unafraid to call a spade a spade and not a big spoon, Lizette is candid and thought provoking. Ruth comes away, not only having unearthed a side of Lizette Chirrime that is mostly unknown, but also sufficiently provoked into thinking deeper about what it means to embrace African heritage more fully.
