Pavilion of Zimbabwe

54th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia

Tapfuma Gutsa, Misheck Masamvu, Berry Bickle and Calvin Dondo

“Seeing Ourselves: Questioning our geographical landscape and the space we occupy from yesterday, today and tomorrow”



Commissioner: Mrs. Doreen Sibanda
Curator: Raphael Chikukwa
Venue: Church Santa Maria della Pietà, Calle della Pietà, Castello 3701 Venezia Italy.

Four Zimbabwean artists will represent Zimbabwe at the first-ever National Pavilion of Zimbabwe at the Venice Biennale. The Biennale opens on 1 June and runs until the end of November. Only one African country, Egypt has maintained a national Pavilion at the Venice Biennale for many years now. The National Gallery of Zimbabwe, working with Zimbabwe's Ministry of Education, Sports, and Culture, British Council, and supported by the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, the Principality of Monaco – Office of International Cooperation, European Union and Institute France will present Zimbabwe Pavilion project. With Zimbabwe included as an official participant in the Venice Biennale, the exhibition will give a long overdue focus on the creativity of Africa's sovereign nations.

“The Zimbabwe Pavilion at the Venice Biennale is pivotal in establishing a platform after the isolation of many years. The Zimbabwean pavilion will provide a rare opportunity to spark discussions about the role of artists in a society. Zimbabwe has become a “Zone of Silence” with little access to the platforms of exchange through which it can communicate. It is in this view that a Zimbabwean Pavilion at the Venice Biennale will break the silence.”
Raphael Chikukwa, Curator
