Zimbabwe stone sculpture is a profound, deeply human expression of the African people that transcends time and space. Sculptors say their ancestors' spirits come in dreams and visions to reveal themselves in images that dwell within the stone. These "voices in stone" can almost be heard through the awe-inspiring sculptures, which tell tales of life in traditional and contemporary works of art. In this way, sculptors release life within the stone and their spirits soar within the collective reality of the African people. Having visited the sculptures, viewers leave with the startling realization that they have been blessed by the stones' varied and emotional messages

The exhibition at Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden in Coral Gables, Florida is named Chapangu, which is the Shona name for an eagle of great presence, a messenger of the gods that symbolizes a protective spirit.
