Makina Kameya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Makina Kameya (died February 1988) was an Angolan-born Zimbabwean sculptor. An ethnic Mbunda, he moved to Zimbabwe in the 1960s, and spent most of his career at the Tengenenge Sculpture Community, where he died. Late in his career, he was injured when one of his sculptures fell and crushed his pelvis and legs; he never fully recovered from his injuries.

Kameya's work may be seen at the Chapungu Sculpture Park.
