Mawonero/Umbono

Insights on Art in Zimbabwe

‘Mawonero’ is a publication that sheds a bright light for the first time on modern and contemporary African art in Zimbabwe. From the Shona language, the word ‘Mawonero’ means ‘way of seeing’. This unique survey is devoted not only to present-day artistic practice, but also to the roots of contemporary Zimbabwean art. The focus is on cultural centres such as Harare and Bulawayo or institutions such as the Gallery Delta, as well as on mission schools in their role as incubators.  ‘Mawonero’ ranges across the entire art scene from 1957 to 2011, and is the first publication to make Zimbabwean art history accessible.
