Chapungu: Custom and Legend, A Culture in Stone January 23, 2008

This is a retrospective of monumental stone sculptures from Chapungu Sculpture Park in Harare, Zimbabwe. The fifty-seven stone works tell stories and record history. The sculptures depict matters close to the hearts of three generations of Shona artists -- their cultural traditions, religious beliefs, social concerns and everyday life. These voices in stone convey personal, yet timeless and universal, experiences and emotions.
