Now the vote is over, what comes next? The Chief Curator of the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, Raphael Chikukwa and the celebrated poet and singer, Albert Nyathi reflect on the elections and share their vision of how Zimbabwe can find a new purpose and identity through the power of arts and culture.

For nearly 40 years Zimbabwean life and culture was dominated by the image of one man, former President Robert Mugabe. The author Panashe Chigumadzi reflects on the omnipresence of Mugabe鈥檚 portrait and asks whether Zimbabweans can now find a new image to represent their nation.
