This special issue of Art Life is the legacy of the New Ideas, New
Possibilities Curatorial Forum and Workshop which took place
from 25-28 February 2013, the first of its kind in Zimbabwe,
hosted by the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in
partnership with The British Council Zimbabwe, with support
from National Museums and Monuments Zimbabwe and
the Angolan Embassy in Zimbabwe. The National Gallery of
Zimbabwe through the forum led by Raphael Chikukwa has
assumed a wider role in the assessment of curatorial practices
in Africa and more curators have been empowered through
the “New Ideas New Possibilities“.
