Residencies | Gallery 1957

CURRENT
Wilfred Timire
October - December 2022 Gallery 1957 welcomes Wilfred Timire to our residency program.

Timire was born in 1989 in Harare, Zimbabwe; he lives and works in Ruwa. Timire studied at Peter Birch School of Art and in 2021 was awarded the inaugural ArtHarare Africa First Art Prize. Timire has a unique and well developed personal language, whose works combine recycled leather bags on which he stitches and sows expressive portraits.

We look forward to his 2023 solo exhibition with the gallery.

Artists
Chiderah Bosah
August - November 2022
Chiderah Bosah joins us for our residency programme.

The artist finds strength in capturing passing moments while surrendering to fate through resilience against adversity.

A true millennial, Bosah’s art speaks to the collective experience of the Nigerian youth against the backdrop of today. Across a series of muted yet powerful figurative paintings, the artist traverses a viewer through inner dialogue of faith and hope.

We look forward to his solo exhibition in November 2022.
