Stone Sculpture of Zimbabwe," the annual show and sale to benefit
area homeless families opens. Over 600 works are on exhibit and

for purchase in a range of prices. Civil unrest in Zimbabwe makes

When Zimbabwe (formerly called Rhodesia) gained its independence in
1980, it named itself Zimbabwe or "house of stone," for its
carving tradition that dates back to the still-standing Great Zimbabwe
stone enclosures of the 10th and 11th centuries. New York’s Museum
of Modern Art brought the first exhibit of the stone sculpture of
Zimbabwe to this country in 1968.
This year’s exhibit highlights Robert Kwechete’s "Kudu Family"
carved from black iron serpentine, Isaac Chaya’s "Loving
Family"
in kwekwe serpentine, and Raymond Chirambadare’s massive piece
"Let
Me Think."
