Ximena Calero is an unlikely activist. In this episode, we step into her mystical and thought-provoking world. As we sit down with our extraordinary guest who shares stories of witchcraft, weaving Mozambican culture into the very fabric of her home, she unravels the secrets of listening – not just hearing, but truly learning. At the same time, deep diving into the realms of beliefs versus science, where boundaries blur and minds expand. Ximena unveils the incredible journey of her activism, showing us how, in Mozambique, small steps lead to monumental impacts.
64. Mafalda Vasconcelos
Mafalda is an artist who is on a journey of self-discovery. Her work is one of the mediums she uses to explore emotions concerning her identity. In a very poetic way, the unspoken bond with her ancestors depicted in her art leaves us in awe. From fashion to fine art prints, connecting the dots on her voyage to the down under, we spoke about her African heritage and how it influences her, how she got her work in London galleries, the unlikely collaboration with A$AP Mob and much more.

In this episode, he shares stories about the Mafalala tours, the José Craveirinha & Maria de Lurdes Mutola story. We spoke about the relationship between tourism & cultural heritage, the definition of tourism in Mozambique, 'Running From The Urb' and of course, the museum.
