It is scheduled to be held at the.gallery@oxo , Oxo Tower , London, in August 2007. 

For Toronto, African Odyssey 2007 is being planned and will be an entirely fresh collection of artworks never previously viewed in Canada, including the monumental sculptures by Dominic Benhura, which have been causing a stir in Britain where they were selected for the Open University public display this past year. The African Odyssey theme was introduced to the Canadian public last year and was a major hit, but this show, a new series, promises to be even “bigger and better”.
