Nancy Mteki came from Harare/Zimbabwe to Huntly in winter of 2013 with her 16-month-old daughter, Kayla.
The Deveron Arts Residency Prize was awarded to Nancy Mteki during Dak'Art 2012 - Biennale of Contemporary African Art by Claudia Zeiske and Pauline Burmann, independent curator and chairperson of the Thami Mnyele Foundation, Holland.
Nancy's residency Mbereko investigated the delights and issues surrounding maternity and childhood in relation to material culture. For this she worked with young mothers in the town.
Mbereko is the name of the cloth mothers in Zimbabwe carry their babies with.
