Zvavahera keeps a sketchbook under her pillow and scribbles in it every morning. Those notes become the paintings here: angels, lone women, ghostly creatures and lovers, all figures that visited her at night. She learned to read dreams from her mother and grandmother, who interpreted theirs every morning.

The centrepiece is House of Praise, a 17-metre painting of white-clad figures she saw as angels and protectors, hung on a curve that the curator calls an embrace. You walk its length, and it is paired with a darker painting, Vanegemu ramazana vachawa (10,000 shall fall). Elsewhere are the lace-covered lovers of I Can Feel It in My Eyes, Pietà-like prayer scenes, and her first ceramics.

The subject is pain, grief and care, painted in Shona terms, so pick up the free visitor's guide. Tickets are €12, reductions from €8, and the first Wednesday of each month is a free late opening, 18:00 to 21:00.

編輯推介

Portia Zvavahera paints from her dreams: large canvases and prints on womanhood, grief and care by the Harare-based artist, in the rooms of a 1931 brewery in Forest.

看點

  • Imba yerumbidzo (House of Praise)

    Look for the 17-metre canvas of white-clad angels and companions, hung on a curve meant as an embrace, with blank patches where figures float free.

  • I Can Feel It in My Eyes

    Lovers embrace in a flowery bed in Harare's Botanical Gardens, half hidden under thin printed layers of lace and flowers.

  • Cosmic Prayer

    Two kneeling figures joined by one green-patterned garment, with a third figure praying out of the folds of their dress.

  • Departure

    Glazed handmade tiles, made after her grandmother died, show a group of spectral figures drifting upward.
