What is Spirit of Zimbabwe?

Welcome to the Spirit of Zimbabwe blog!

What's it about? Well, very simply: we are putting on an exhibition of art and sculpture from Zimbabwe, in the town of Marlow in the UK.

Who are "we"? Christ Church United Reformed Church, a small congregation with a big heart, hoping through this to reach out to some artists living and working in very difficult conditions in Zimbabwe.

So far we have started the ball rolling by ordering a crate of sculptures which is now on its way to Marlow. And, somehow, we have to be ready to receive them, catalogue them, put them on show and sell them, in order to send the money back to Zimbabwe. It's a big challenge and I will post progress reports and pictures on this site.

Just to give a flavour of it, I have posted a few photos of sculptures brought in for some other places last year. I will add pictures of the sculptures coming to Marlow, as soon as I have them.

And, finally, the most important thing. The DATES for Spirit of Zimbabwe in Marlow will be: Friday 12th to Sunday 21st March, 2010. Come and see us!
