BY SHARON SIBINDI NATIONAL Gallery of Zimbabwe (NGZ) in Bulawayo will today open a group exhibition titled Peripheral Chronicles for visual artists from Gweru.
NGZ in Bulawayo acting regional director Silenkosi Moyo told NewsDay Life & Style yesterday that the exhibition, that will run for three months, seeks to explore new approaches to contemporary art, contextual ideas and interrogate self-representation.
“Today we will be opening an exhibition which has young and veteran artists from Midlands which is still under the gallery’s geographic sphere.
“Our motive is to promote talent, develop creativity of the Midlands artists and make this an annual exhibition with new talent every year,” she said.
