Meet the artists turning Zimbabwe's serpentine stone into work collected around the world.
Shona sculpture is one of Zimbabwe's greatest cultural exports — and a new generation of artists is carrying it forward.
Working primarily in serpentine and springstone, these sculptors draw on tradition and spirituality to create pieces that have found their way into galleries from Cape Town to New York.
On our journeys you can visit working studios, meet the artists, and even try your own hand at the craft. It's one of the most meaningful ways to connect with the country — and to take a piece of it home.
