MULTI-AWARD-WINNING visual artist Keith Zenda has embarked on an environment and cultural restoration drive that seeks to debunk societal myths through his on-going Bold and Beautiful exhibition at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo.

Zenda’s solo exhibition, running up to September 30, consists of artworks done with acrylic on canvas and most of the paintings are 1 200mm x 800mm.

The Chirumanzu-born self-taught artist took pride in his rural communities by painting his upbringing imaginations in an attempt to demystify several myths associated with totems, taboos and witchcraft.
