The professional and life career of the writer and filmmaker Tsisi Dangarembga (Mutoko, Zimbabwe, 1959) is characterized by conviction and persistence. "After 40 years of fighting, I now see where my beginnings led me and I realize that everything began with my body," says the artist, who is in Catalonia to occupy the residency of the Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona (CCCB). Dangarembga is one of the most recognized African voices in literature and cinema. He debuted in 1989 with Permanent denial (The Golden Needle), the first part of a trilogy that continues with The book of no (The Golden Needle) and ends with This mournful body, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and has not been translated into Catalan. The activist was the first Zimbabwean woman to direct a feature film, Everybody's child (1996), and since then he has dedicated himself to breaking down many barriers in his country.
