Harvest of Thorns - Kudzanai Chiurai (exhibition)

A culmination of Chiurai’s projects around public acts of violence as documented and represented by the media. The exhibition interrogates a contemporary African notion of sacrifice, though not enquiring into its necessity. Violence and sacrifice are evidenced through Chiurai’s use of sheepskin, bandages, wood, blood-red beads and bronzed horns. Chiurai alludes to ritual practices of war, cleansing and burial.
