X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The name of the nation of Zimbabwe transla
 tes to &ldquo\;house of stone\,&rdquo\; giving a clue to the deep roots of
  the modern Shona sculpture movement\, which began in the 1950s. More than
  a thousand years ago\, the historic Shona people created a thriving civil
 ization in Zimbabwe&rsquo\;s rocky plateaus. These people are revered by a
 rchaeologists for their sophisticated stone artwork as well as utilitarian
  stone artifacts.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Contemporary artists in Zimbabwe
  have revived this rich tradition of stone carving and advanced it into th
 e 20th and 21st centuries\, carving rarer and more difficult stones into s
 culptures inspired by their cultural heritage and their personal experienc
 es. The stunning sculptures on display in this exhibit range from realism 
 to abstraction. View 15 masterful pieces by 5 renown sculptors\, including
  Godfrey Matungamidze\, Ishmael Kapeta\, James Tandi\, and Brian Watyoka.<
 /p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The exhibition is curated from the AARLCC Special 
 Collections. Although many of AARLCC&rsquo\;s Zimbabwean pieces on are on 
 permanent display\, several of the pieces featured in &ldquo\;House of Sto
 ne&rdquo\; will be exhibited to the public for the first time.</p>\n<p>&nb
 sp\;</p>\n<p>Visit the African American Research Library and Cultural Cent
 er to see this exhibit which will be on display starting in February throu
 gh April 30\, 2026.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>A Service of the Broward Coun
