Joseph Muli

Kenyan/Zimbabwean 1951-1994 

Kenyan born Joseph Muli travelled to Nairobi as a youth in the hope of finding work to help support his impoverished family. There he met and stayed with an Italian family who were living in the city. The father was an artist who carved tombstones, a skill he taught to Muli. He moved to Harare, Zimbabwe and from 1964 to 1968, he worked at the Nyarutsetso Art School with Canon Edward Paterson. He was one of the founding members of ZAVACAD (Zimbabwean Association for Visual Artists, Craftpersons, and Designers) and mentored young artists at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe. While his foundation was in stone carving, he went on to sculpt from ebony wood; notably long, thin emotive figures.
