"The Smoke That Thunders"
Located in Holland Park, London, the Mosi O Tunya Gallery showcases bold and colourful works by artists from Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique and South Africa.

PARTNERSHIPS
Founded by the Wulfsohn family, the Gallery’s purpose is to exhibit, champion and benefit artists from across Africa.
“The smoke that thunders” is the African tribal name for the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River, the boundary between Zambia and Zimbabwe from where most of the permanent collection comes and where the Wulfsohn family lived.
As well as exhibiting pieces from the Wulfsohn Collection, the Gallery also works with African gallerists to present the work of emerging African artists to a London audience.
We work closely with a number of galleries in Africa to showcase their artists and give them an international platform through which to champion the best of African art. Two of our closest partnerships are with:
Lechwe Gallery | Lusaka, Zambia
Village Unhu Gallery | Harare, Zimbabwe
PERMANENT COLLECTION
The Wulfsohn Collection of pan-African Art
Selected works by artists from Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique and South Africa
Many of the Zimbabwe artists were trained under the auspices of the National Gallery of Zimbabwe. Others from Zambia were supported by the Lechwe Trust founded by Cynthia Zukas.
By appointment only.

An exhibition of artworks from Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
In summer 2022, Guns & Rain and StArt Art Gallery were pleased present Muzivi Wenzira, an exhibition of artworks by seven artists from Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Based in South Africa and Namibia respectively, these two galleries share a focus on contemporary art from Southern Africa.
The shared histories of these artists and the socio-political contexts that they inhabit provide the varied and rich background for the artworks on display.
