Human Nature / Natural Histories

An evolving exhibition opening in June 2026

Victoria Falls is a site shaped by geological time, ecological power, and layered cultural histories - a setting that complicates how we think about human presence, extraction, reverence, and responsibility. Set on the edge of one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, Human Nature / Natural Histories is an evolving exhibition that explores how people and nature transform and depend upon one another. It is a meditation on coexistence - on the ways that human creativity mirrors the tensions, rhythms, and beauty of the natural world.

The theme embraces both intimacy and vastness: the marks we humans leave on the land and on time. It invites artists from Zimbabwe and beyond to interpret the intersections of nature, myth, memory and modern life. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, artists from Zimbabwe and across the region reflect on how we shape, and are shaped by, the landscapes around us

At its heart, Human Nature / Natural Histories belongs to a wider vision: to reimagine Victoria falls as a gateway to the wider culture of Zimbabwe and the region, and to experience “Safari” as a cultural and creative journey. Inviting visitors - locals and travellers alike - to encounter the spirit of this place not only in its landscapes but in its imagination - in the art, stories, and people who call it home.

The exhibition includes work by John Kotze, Tshepiso Moropa, Baudouin Mouanda, Linda Burris-Webster, Percy Manyonga, Mika Marffy, Patrick Tagoe-Turkson, David and Dennie Chidzembwa,
