Dancing Family Or Ukama 

Artist R. Rupiya 

 



Spirits in Stone Piece Number 206538 






In Shona culture, life closely revolves around deep family 

relationships or mhuri.  When mhuri extends to all of humanity, it 

becomes ukama.   With ukama, everyone shares with one another and 

finds peace through the love of all. Ukama  offers a symbolic 

reminder that the simple love of parent for child, of family member 

for family member, of neighbor for neighbor, can be a powerful 

adhesive that holds together entire cultures. ©
