Get ready to be wowed by a time-traveling adventure through the history of Zambian sculpture. The Lechwe Trust Gallery has just opened a treasure chest of an exhibition, showcasing stunning sculptures from the pre-independence era to the present day.
Witness craftsmanship from the 1960’s come alive, where humble soil and wood were transformed into works of beauty alongside everyday tools like cooking utensils and jewelry – a true testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of local renound artists. The exhibition also speaks to how the art of sculpting blossomed after independence, as artists embraced new materials and techniques, like stone, metal, and even textiles, to express their unique perspectives and the ever-evolving spirit of our nation.
If you love history and art, be sure to dive into this treasure trove of creativity. You will encounter renowned artists, rare pieces, and a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Zambian heritage. Exhibition is open until 17th March 2024 but note that all artwork is not for sale.
Sound off in the comments once you get a chance to visit the exhibition, I would love to hear your thoughts.
