admincommunication across racial and ethnic lines, yet retaining a distinct Zimbabwean identity.
Notably, the young Zimbabwean artists are experimenting technically innovative ways to handle the process of art-making and re-inventing their own indigenous contemporaneity according to the materials at their disposal and their social milieu.
The exhibition highlights the transformation from amateur to professional artists and serves as a springboard to expose new talent.
Significant art works on display include the works of Anthony Bumhira, Tafadzwa Gwetai, Portia Zvavahera, John Gusinyu, Freddy Tauro, and others.
With no particular governing theme, the exhibition gives room for experimentation and consolidation of visions.
The seasoned mid-career and young artists combine their works to offer a wide spectrum of Zimbabwean visual culture.
Our reception and investment in contemporary Zimbabwean art needs to be fostered and encouraged. This show is a thoughtful reflection on the diversity of cultural influences that are prevalent in our country.
