Rememberance Chikuruwo was born in 1989 in Chivhu in central Zimbabwe. He is one of six siblings, the only boy among five sisters!

Rememberance’s father Simoriro Chikuruwo encouraged his son to try stone sculpture. Simoriro has been a sculptor for many years, and owns a serpentine mine in his kumusha (rural home area).  When he had completed his education, Rememberance began assisting his father.

His childhood in the sango (bush), and his father’s deep connection to Shona beliefs and traditions, means Rememberance is deeply connected to nature and Shona spirituality.

“The stories in my art relates to the spiritual – animals, birds, water and others. When I was growing up, I was also a hunter; whenever I wanted to renew my creativity I would just wander in the mountains and along the river banks.”

In 2006, Rememberance left his rural home for the big city, namely Chitungwiza – a city of over a million people about 30km southwest of the capital Harare.

Rememberance’s work effortlessly combines the uncluttered feel of the best of Zimbabwe’s contemporary abstract sculpture with the inspiration that comes from a traditional rural upbringing.
Rememberance ‘s work has exhibited at national Gallery of Zimbabwe, in Europe and America, he also did workshops and exhibitions in Afrika in Lejre ( Denmark)
