Exhibition

Portia Zvavahera: Zvakazarurwa

1 March - 25 May 2025
Free to all

Dreams and bold colours come together in powerful works drawing from Zimbabwean artistic traditions

Harare-based artist Portia Zvavahera creates striking, dreamlike paintings that merge personal experience with the metaphysical. Combining expressive brushwork, printmaking, and batik techniques, her works explore love, loss, isolation, and connection.

Drawing from Zimbabwean artistic traditions and global influences, her layered compositions feature haunting figures and intricate patterns. This exhibition presents a vivid selection of Zvavahera’s works, offering an insight into her deeply personal yet universally resonant visual world. Rich in colour and symbolism, the work invites visitors into an immersive and emotionally charged experience.
