^ Part of a painting by Misheck Masamvu at a solo exhibition currently running at Gallery Delta in Harare. The exhibition was sponsored by the German Embassy, Zimbabwe German Society and ZIMOCO. It is entitled Shame and through various paintings and drawings Masamvu depicts the shame of the things that Zimbabweans have done in the last few years and the silence that prevents them from talking about these things.
^ I Miss You by Misheck Masamvu.
^ Useless Willpower. This drawing shows a man who has willpower, demonstrated by his erect penis, and is trying to push himself foward, shown by his hands on the wheelbarrow handles, but he is not going anywhere because he has no wheels.
^ Bloody Armchairs. This painting depicts how we often prop up certain people so that they gain positions of power, in the hope that when they do they will send some of their gains down to us. Share this bit of jam with your friends:           |
