Farai Mangenda was born in Nyanga.  He went to school and left at grade six level because his parents had passed away, so no one could pay for his school fees.

He then started to learn how to sculpt in 1994.  He works on heads and figures.  He is a father of 8 children.  He enjoys working on hard stones such as Verdite, Springstone and Fruit Serpentines.  He is currently working at The Chitungwiza Arts Centre.

I’ve seen the previous two ZimSculpt exhibitions and, judging by the preview photographs, this year’s collection has a much more modernistic cast, somewhat whimsical in several of its pieces. Earlier exhibitions were “heavier,” always a problem with stone; several of this year’s major pieces are very graceful, more stylistic, and probably more attractive to a Western audience.
