Portland, Oregon. On Friday, August 1, 2008, Zimbabwe Artists Project will host an opening for a month-long exhibit in the Olympic Mills Commerce Building, in conjunction with First Fridays in inner southeast Portland. The event will be from 5:00-9:00pm and is free and open to the public. During the event, there will be music courtesy of Wood Vibrations as well as snacks and beverages. This event is for all ages.
Overview:
Zimbabwe Artists Project has been actively exhibiting art in the Portland community for nearly a decade, so it's not surprising if the artwork is familiar to many. This August marks our first year of residence in the Olympic Mills Commerce Center. In conjunction with First Friday in inner southeast Portland, we are excited to celebrate this anniversary with an exhibit throughout the main floor gallery space of the OMCC.
This exhibit will feature artwork made in Zimbabwe by over 100 artists, the majority women, from the rural community of Weya. Accompanying their artwork will be photographs of the artists and the stories that they tell.
Through the artwork from Weya, ZAP promotes a dialogue within our own communities about Zimbabwe's history and culture, as well as about the artists' lives. The photographs of the artists and the stories that accompany each piece of art offer connections with real Zimbabwean people. Stereotypes of plighted masses give way to images of rural African women as strong, creative, and fully capable human beings.
At this exhibit, we will explore specific issues that ZAP faces in Zimbabwe: social structure and gender, HIV/AIDS and health, special needs and projects, Weya systems of values and beliefs, etc. In dialogue with art, the artists, and our own communities here in Portland, we hope to continue to foster new awareness and new ideas to promote equity, dignity and social progress.
