National Gallery of Zimbabwe Jubilee Year Exhibition -December 2007

 

The National Gallery in Zimbabwe

 

The year 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of The National Gallery in Harare. This modernist building was opened with an extraordinary exhibition that brought a collection of highly prized European art works for the first time to an audience in Southern Africa. To mark the 50th year of our existence, The National Gallery of Zimbabwe will mount an equally momentous show.

The show will run from December 2007 to February 2008 and will carry with it a vibrant and extensive series of workshops, seminars and events centred around themes of connections, networks and new cross-continental collaborations. These collaborations will be encouraged to explore the fusion of contemporary and cultural practices toward developing extraordinary and necessary works that begin to represent artists from the continent in new and dynamic ways for this continent and beyond.

 

To this end submissions are invited from artists from all corners of this continent to celebrate both our collective heritage and most importantly the individual style, significance and comment to this contemporary identity.
