Zimbabwean and European artists unite at a vibrant exhibition to tackle climate change through art and sustainability.
A groundbreaking cultural exhibition is bringing together artists from Zimbabwe and Europe in a creative collaboration that explores climate change solutions and the intersection of art and sustainability. Hosted at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, the event showcases a vibrant fusion of music, visual arts, recycling innovations, and sustainable food practices.
The exhibition highlights how art can transform waste into meaningful creations, challenging traditional views of both art and sustainability. Alessandra Nicola, an Italian upcycled designer, expressed enthusiasm about the platform the exhibition provides: “We are very glad to be here because this way it allows us to show what we do with waste and that it can be considered art.”
Visitors are immersed in a rich cultural exchange where Zimbabwean and European artists experiment with various mediums. One of the standout moments of the event is the musical collaboration between EU and Zimbabwean musicians. These artists blend African instruments, such as the Mbira, with contemporary sounds to create unique performances that celebrate environmental themes.

Swedish RnB singer Cherrie, who recently completed her first African tour with a final show in Zimbabwe, spoke about the inspiring experience of working with local musicians. “It has been an amazing experience and the fact that I got to collaborate. I have heard the Mbira before but hearing it on my music and getting to be a part of that has been an honor,” she said.
This fusion of European and Zimbabwean talent not only showcases the versatility of the Mbira but also symbolizes the power of cross-cultural collaboration in addressing global issues like climate change.
The exhibition is a testament to how creativity and innovation can play a critical role in raising awareness about sustainability. By transforming everyday waste into artistic masterpieces and merging traditional African sounds with modern music, the event inspires audiences to rethink how they engage with the environment.
Organizers hope that this cultural dialogue will encourage further cooperation between artists worldwide to develop solutions that promote sustainability and environmental responsibility through the arts.
