AMAGUGU INTERNATIONAL HERITAGE CENTER HAMLET PAINTING COMPETITION

Adjudication is in progress in the hut painting competition run by Amagugu International Heritage Center aimed at preserving a diminishing hamlet decoration tradition still practiced in Zimbabwe. Center director Phathisa Nyathi says the painting tradition is almost disappearing, a situation which prompted the center to engage various companies, the Art Gallery in Bulawayo and the National University of Science and Technology to revive it.
