National Arts Council of Zimbabwe to host Belt and Road Afro-Sino exhibition soon

The National Arts Council of Zimbabwe is going to host the Belt and Road Afro-Sino Cultural Exchange program, which begins Saturday and ends next Wednesday.

The spokesperson of National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ), Cathrine Mthombeni said that the concept of the Belt and Road exchange program is an initiative by the government of China that also intends to strengthen world connectivity while embracing business cooperation. Zimbabwe won the bid to host this prestigious exhibition in China last year.

The exchange program incorporates an art exhibition, art forum and launch of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Chapter of the Afro-Sino Cultural Exchange Association and will run under the theme: South Meeting the East: A Tale of Two Communities, as reported by Xinhua.

The exhibition, which aims to create an opportunity for the artists from both the South and the East to network, has 120 artworks from China, Zambia, Seychelles, Botswana, Kenya and Zimbabwe, making it the largest exhibition in Zimbabwe in recent times.
