Artgal.Online – a Swiss gallery that builds bridges between cultures.
In collaboration with the Swiss-Zimbabwean Heritage Gallery, Artgal.Online showcases Zimbabwean talent on the global stage.
Artgal.Online is a virtual gallery dedicated to showcasing contemporary African art. It focuses on works by Zimbabwean artists. The platform sees itself as an interface between African heritage and a global audience. This exhibition presents a selection of carefully curated paintings, sculptures, and mixed media works reflecting themes such as identity, spirituality, and social awareness.
Zimbabwean artists represented include Keith Zenda, Tonderai Mujuru and Barry Lungu. Their pieces demonstrate the connection between traditional African motifs and modern forms of artistic expression. In collaboration with the Swiss-Zim Heritage Gallery, Artgal.Online introduces a new generation of Zimbabwean artists to an international audience, showcasing their work on a global platform.
Swiss-Zim Heritage is strongly committed to promoting and supporting African artists. In addition to the existing gallery in Gweru, plans are in place to open a second exhibition space in Harare in early 2026. The new location has been designed to facilitate encounters and exchanges that reflect the cultural diversity, complexity, and expressive potential of Zimbabwean art. In collaboration with Art84 in Harare, four major annual exhibitions entitled 'Roots and Horizons' will be held, each lasting several weeks and showcasing different aspects of Zimbabwe's contemporary art scene.
At the fair, Artgal.Online will be exhibiting works by the following artists: Courtney Chots, Florah Maphosa, Nokuthula Mpofu aka SheArtista, Keith Zenda and more.
