The Chikumbirike Brothers: Canaan, Moses and Joshua were born in Zimbabwe.

Joshua was born in June of 1960 and was the seventh brother of ten boys. After completing his education and with much assistance from his gifted older brother Canaan, Joshua embarked on his career as an artist spending time in both Malawi and South Africa.

In 1991, Joshua, probably the most famous of the Chikumbirike carving family, taught Israel Kashiri. Chikumbirike is recognised as one of the best bust sculptors.

For centuries, botanical gardens around the world have featured sculpture throughout their grounds… Now, the (Naples Botanical) Garden is capitalizing on its “Gardens of Latitude” tagline to present more than 200 stone sculptures from Zimbabwe, which rests in the same 26 degrees north and 26 degrees south band around the equator that is the Garden’s focus.

Brian Holley, Executive Director at the Garden, says “I think just providing the opportunity for people to see the quality of sculpture that is being produced in Zimbabwe will be a surprise to most people,” he says. “But even more important will be the way that the sculptures enhance the experience of visiting the garden.”
