Southern Guild, in collaboration with First Floor Gallery Harare, is presenting ‘Pachipamwe (We Meet Again)’, a solo exhibition of figurative oil paintings by Zimbabwean artist Wycliffe Mundopa. The exhibition, made of large-scale canvases that bear visceral witness to the complex lives of Zimbabwe’s women and children, will be on view at the gallery from 8 February to 20 April 2023.

For more than 15 years, Mundopa has harnessed his role as an artist to give visibility and voice to the unseen and unheard. The painter’s work is a response to life as he observes and experiences it. Each of his grand compositions canonizes the stories of Harare’s women. Believing in the power of truth-seeing and the drama and beauty of the ordinary, Mundopa’s paintings elevate the daily happenings of his people toward historical significance.

Founded in 2008, Southern Guild has pioneered the African continent’s functional art and collectible design category, propelling its artists and designers to make globally relevant, original work. The gallery’s rigorous curatorial program has shaped the world’s perceptions of African design, forging a unique vocabulary with strong narrative and substance.
