Zimbabwean stone sculpture is a profound, deeply human expression of the African people that transcends time and space. Sculptors say their ancestors' spirits come in dreams and visions to reveal themselves in images that dwell within the stone. The result is awe-inspiring sculptures, which tell tales of life.
The sculptures are organised around eight themes that represent shared human relationships, emotions and experiences. They represent: The Family, Custom and Legend, Social Comment, The Role of the Elders, The Spirit World, The Role of Women, Village Life, and Nature and Environment:
Keith Luckey Supervisor of The Terrace said, “It is a great honor for all of us at The Terrace to be able to host the return to Lincoln’s Cultural Quarter of this wonderful exhibition.”
The exhibition will be open between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday between 24th November and 11th December, and additionally between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 5th December. Admission is free.
