About

We are the movement.

OutKazterz is a youth-driven creative movement rooted in Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe. We create spaces for fashion, art, music, and self-expression to connect people, spotlight emerging talent, and tell better stories through creativity.

Our story

It starts with people showing up

Paintings on a stage. A red carpet laid over gravel. An MC with the crowd pressed in close. People who made what they are wearing. That is what an OutKazterz gathering looks like.

We believe the stories told about young people in Zimbabwe should come from young people in Zimbabwe. So we make room for them to be seen and heard, starting at home in Chinhoyi.

What we stand on

  1. Passion first

    Passion is the only requirement. You do not need a big name or a big budget.

    Different disciplines and different backgrounds make the work better.

  3. Proudly local

    We are rooted in Chinhoyi and proud of Zimbabwean creativity.

  4. Better together

    Designers, artists, musicians and photographers lift each other up.

  5. Tell it truthfully

    We want young people to tell their own stories, in their own way.
