Everlasting Love by Simon Chidharara.
Art Review Quote
”This tradition… is a genuinely indigenous art form; one that has its roots in ancestor worship and belief in the abiding presence of spirits. They are producing, some say, the finest stonework in the world.
– The Economist

Gristmill Lane, The Distillery District
The cobblestones on Gristmill Lane, in the heart of The Distillery District, provide the perfect backdrop for this third, annual outdoor exhibition of stone sculpture from Zimbabwe.
Over 150 sculptures, ranging in size from six feet to six inches, will be on display – turning Gristmill Lane into a world class art gallery. ZimArt’s 2013 artist-in-residence, Simon Chidharara, will be featured along with thirty other Zimbabwean artists. Simon will be on site demonstrating and discussing his art throughout the exhibition.
As with all ZimArt exhibitions, Stone Diaries III is curated by Fran Fearnley, who travels to Zimbabwe every year to select and buy the work directly from the artists.
Free admission.
