The project brings to light a largely overlooked chapter of history: Romania’s relationship with anti-colonial liberation movements and, in particular, its involvement in Zimbabwe’s struggle for independence during the 1970s. Developed through archival research in Romania and Zimbabwe, first-hand testimonies from liberation veterans, and commissioned scholarship, the project traces the cultural, political and personal exchanges between the two countries. Presented in Bucharest in 2025–2026, the exhibition brought together 67 Romanian and Zimbabwean artists, with works spanning from 1960 to the present. It was accompanied by a two-day symposium and the launch of the Second World digital archive, making newly recovered documents publicly available for the first time. The resulting publication, published by DISTANZ, launches at Art Basel Paris. At Art Basel Paris, a capsule of the project brings together 19 Romanian and Zimbabwean artists across generations. Their works consider liberation and its aftermath, collective memory, inheritance and transmission—how histories move between generations, and how the promises of freedom continue to be questioned, reconstructed and reimagined.   Thomas Mukarobgwa, Witchcraft with Snake, early 1970s, Serpentine stone, 54 x 19 x 32 cm Wanda Mihuleac,  Figura-Cantitate Continua, 1974, vintage print, 18 × 24 cm Rachel Monosov and Admire Kamudzengerere, Before the Ceremony, Aug. 20, 1972, 2017, archival inkjet print, 20 x 30 cm, Edition 9 of 15 Terrence Musekiwa, Mutengesi (espionage), 2025, Springstone, 1970’s artillery shell, straw, iron, copper, cotton 127 x 53 x 33 cm ARTISTS Thomas Mukarobgwa (b. 1924 – d. 1999) Zephania Tshuma (b. 1932 – d. 2000) Fanizani Akuda (b. 1932 – d. 2011) Nicholas Mukomberanwa (b. 1940 – d. 2002) Sylvester Mubayi (b. 1942 – d. 2022) Decebal Scriba (b. 1944) Ion Grigorescu (b. 1945) Wanda Mihuleac (b. 1946) Amon Mwareka (b. 1950 – d. 1992) Ciprian Mureșan (b. 1977) Admire Kamudzengerere (b. 1981) Portia Zvavahera (b. 1985) Chiedza Pasipanodya (b. 1987) Rachel Monosov (b. 1987) Terrence Musekiwa (b. 1990) Nona Inescu (b. 1991) Kresiah Mukwazhi (b. 1992) Andrei Nițu (b. 2000) Ana Pascu (b. 2000) Ion Grigorescu, Deformation III, 1978/2012, six c-prints, ed. 2/5 + 2 AP, each 34,5 x 50,5 cm (framed), courtesy of Gregor Podnar Publication Have No Doubt of the Omnipotence of a Free People, First Edition, 2026; publisher: Distanz REQUEST PREVIEW For inquiries please reach out to: Catinca Tabacaru catinca@catincatabacaru.com +40 722 430 430 Raphael Guilbert raphael@catincatabacaru.com +1 603 957 1354 Raluca Vartic galeria@catincatabacaru.com +40 745 100 051 GALERIA CATINCA TABACARU Calea Giulesti 14, etaj 3, Bucharest #catincatabacarugallery#fineartmagazineblog.blogspot.com#sunstormfineartmagazine.com#artfunparis, #artfunchange#artfunnow#artfuninternational
