So they can also understand how we make the sculptures, Mupindiko said. Most of the artists we have, they all learn from their parents or other artists. So it s been passed along from generation to generation.
Sculpting has been a tradition in Zimbabwe since the 1950s. The ZimSculpt traveling exhibit brings their work to other parts of the world. It was last at the Arboretum in 2017. When we collect all the work from all those different artists, we re supporting all of those artists, their families, and indeed the whole village wherever they live, ZimSculpt Curator Vivienne Croisette said. I have passion for art, Layson said as he sculpted. I enjoy sculpting.
