The Dhaga is a local Zimbabwean clay widely eaten throughout the country. It is a very tasty soft brown clay, with a very creamy texture. It is said to have a high level of iron. This brown sample was obtained at the shop of Carolijn (wife of Admire Kamudzengerere’s brother).
The Museum of Edible Earth has gone on a research trip in Zimbabwe at the Animal Farm Artist Residency. By creating a space that offers various types of exchanges through international activities and events, the Animal Farm Art Residency in Zimbabwe facilitates a series of developments aimed to foster creative practice connected with contemporary peers all around the world.
