Natural Histories / Human Nature

An evolving exhibition opening in May 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, Natural Histories / Human Nature is an evolving exhibition that explores how people and nature reflect, transform, and depend upon one another. It is a meditation on coexistence - on the ways that human creativity mirrors the rhythms, tensions, and beauty of the natural world.

Rather than a static collection or a series of fixed exhibitions, this space is conceived as a living gallery. Works are added, exchanged, and renewed over time, creating a continuous conversation between artists, visitors, and place. Each visit offers way of reading and viewing stories and forms - an ever-changing portrait of how we see ourselves and our environment.

The theme embraces both intimacy and vastness: the marks humans leave on the land and in memory. It invites artists from Zimbabwe and across the region to interpret the intersections of nature, myth, 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, Natural Histories / Human Nature belongs to a wider vision: to reimagine the safari as a cultural and creative journey. Inviting visitors - local 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 this place home.

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