‘Shamwari Yeparwendo — A Friend on a Journey’ is a heartfelt tribute to the unexpected allies and fleeting encounters that quietly shape an artist’s path. In the unpredictable landscape of creative work—with its highs, lows, doubts, and discoveries—it is sometimes strangers who offer the most resonant guidance. These chance moments, brief yet impactful, remind us of the quiet power of human connection. Through this piece, Mbayiwa honours the informal networks of support, conversation, and critique that emerge when we least expect them. It is a celebration of community in its broadest sense —not only those we know well, but also those who pass through our journey just long enough to leave a mark. ‘Shamwari Yeparwendo’ is both a personal reflection and a collective offering: a reminder that even amid uncertainty.
