Zimbabwean artist Portia Zvavahera engages printmaking processes to create distinct and otherworldly paintings, bridging Indigenous Shona and African Pentecostal imagery with the intimacy of dreams. ZZ Packer, author of Drinking Coffee Elsewhere (2003) and contributor to The New Yorker and Granta, will interview Zvavahera in her first U.S. museum exhibition.
