What: Between Me and The Stone
Where: Showcase Gallery, Alserkal Avenue
Why we’re going: A Zimbabwe export, Dominic Benhura is considered one of the most important Shona sculptors globally – a fact well backed by over 30 solo exhibitions. Playful yet sophisticated, his work is a striking example of Shona sculpture, which is a medium often carved to express both personal and spiritual beliefs.
