Urban Canvas: public artwork and their stories in Harare

Public artwork gives a city a voice. In Harare, as in many cities, walls, sculptures and shared spaces can carry stories about the people who live and work around them.

Why it matters for spaces

The same thinking shapes the interiors we design: a space feels like a place to belong when it carries a story, a texture or a detail that someone cared about.

Next time you walk through the city, look for the artwork you usually pass without seeing. Who made it? What does it say about the place?
