The European Union is funding the art show with awards to re-establish its relationship with Zimbabwean art and artists and Gallery Delta. Previously the EU has sponsored huge art shows with Gallery Delta under the themes "Peace Through Unity and Diversity" in 2007 and "Unity" in 2009.
Artists present during the official launch in the Amphitheatre at Gallery Delta were ecstatic as this came against an uninspiring environment with very little movements in the local art scene.
The young emerging artists in majority with a handful of the established were on cloud nine as this is an opportunity for them to express and record in their own favourable media, their thoughts, imagination or fantasies, impressions and emotions, involving such age old and sought after desire of man to find freedom, either spiritually or in reality, and with in the theme of "Freedom Revisited".
The theme is open for interpretation by the creative minds and may involve comment and content on the social, economic, political situation and other circumstances prevailing in the country.
