SimuliziKe is a part of the KFF, connecting film, feminism, tourism, and ecological awareness. It brings together artists, feminists, storytellers, and community members to highlight African women’s stories, focusing on their erasure, resilience, and rise in the creative economy. Despite the growth of African cinema, women’s stories are often missing or presented through biased perspectives, especially in Tanzania. SimuliziKe addresses this gap by creating a community-focused feminist storytelling program that sees storytelling as a crucial act of survival and healing. It celebrates women’s experiences, promotes intergenerational support and learning, and aims to uplift
women’s voices at the Kilimanjaro Film Festival. The goal of SimuliziKe is to provide a platform for feminist storytelling that supports healing, cultural identity, knowledge sharing among women, and amplifies African women’s creative economies through partnerships and skill-sharing.
