Description
The Gertrude Bernstein Memorial Garden serves as the backdrop for an outdoor exhibition of monumental Shona stone carvings. Developed in partnership with Gallery Guichard, the collection spotlights masterworks by artists including Edmore Sango, Pheoleen Gandari, Chapenga, and William Wilburforce Chewua. The figures, each hand-carved from stone, serve as a medium for investigating spiritual lineages and ancestral narratives.
