- Title
NGODA: THE WEALTH BENEATH OUR FEET EXHIBITION: AN ADULT EDUCATION PRACTICE AT MUTARE MUSEUM, EASTERN ZIMBABWE.

- Abstract
Exhibitions in museums are increasingly becoming popular public pedagogical strategies that engage with stories of social struggles faced by certain communities. In this paper, I will look at how we at Mutare Museum used an exhibition on diamond mining--the research, the design, and the production--to create a public forum for dialogue and engagement. The discovery of surface diamonds in Chiadzwa, Eastern Zimbabwe, in 2006 and the subsequent displacement of communities living in the area were topical issues that were articulated in the exhibition for purposes of adult education. Through this exhibition, Mutare Museum provided a space where the community explored complicated conversations and controversies surrounding diamond mining.
