FIRST LIGHT

“First Light” is a clear expression of how a new generation of artists is interpreting life in 21st-century Zimbabwe. Their work is energetic, defiant and visionary – each piece a testament to the passion and ingenuity of young Zimbabwean creatives who are reshaping their country’s artistic landscape. By exploring and questioning their identity and heritage – where tradition collides with modernity – these young artists are telling their stories of struggle and triumph. They are forging new narratives, challenging conventions and daring us to see Zimbabwe through their eyes.
