Long Day's Work
Description
This vibrant painting by Pharoah Mudenha, a young artist from Mutare now based in Harare under Keith Zenda's patronage, captures a scene of tradition and community. It shows two women pounding maize, a vital step in preparing mealie meal, used to make sadza, Zimbabwe’s staple dish.
Sadza symbolizes unity, often shared at family and community gatherings. The synchronized movements of the women reflect teamwork and resilience, while their colorful attire adds warmth and life to the scene. Mudenha’s work celebrates Zimbabwean culture, connecting the past and present through art.Try it!
