Rudo is a visual artist, graphic designer, and filmmaker who has worked in the cultural sector in Zimbabwe for over ten years. She is highly versatile and describes herself as a creative amoeba, absorbing the skills and knowledge of a variety of disciplines and growing in all directions. Rudo has been involved in many arts organisations, projects and initiatives, including Pamberi Trust, Women Filmmakers of Zimbabwe (WFoZ), Kuumba Arts Trust, Jibilika Dance Trust, Zimbabwe International Film Festival, the Joint Afrikan Animation Group (JAAG), Povo Afrika Trust and LitFest Harare.
