CHAF25 opens doors for visual artists, tourism sector

In a significant boost for local visual artists aspiring for international recognition, Harare is preparing to host Zimbabwe’s inaugural art fair, the Cheuka Art Fair (CHAF25), later this month. The event will take place from February 27 to March 1 at the Andy Miller Hall, Harare Exhibition Park. Curated by Laura Ganda, the fair is the brainchild of Wallen Mapondera, Admire Kamudzengere, and Merilyn Mushakwe. The quartet will be joined by other talented visual artists, including Gareth Nyandoro, Mostaff Muchawaya, Kressiar Mukwazhi, Gideon Gomo, Victor Nyakauru, and Nothando Chiwanga, who will participate in group discussions. As the first event of its kind in Zimbabwe, CHAF25 will bring together galleries, artists, and international collectors to buy, sell, and showcase a diverse array of artworks.
