Title

Murungo Ano Penga Inc. / African Fine Art and Home Décor Gallery

Description

We at Murungo Ano Penga Inc. are dedicated to the promotion of fair and equal trade with the hundreds of artists from the various Tribes of Africa. We have taken the interest in promoting the wonderful works of the different regions and educating a new market of people, who otherwise may never see these wonderful works of art. We feel that through this type of promotion combined with educating people of the origin of the art, people from totally different worlds can enjoy and take pleasure in each other’s culture and heritage. We have focused specifically on Shona sculpture from the Shona tribe of Zimbabwe. The Shona Sculpturing is an art form that has been passed down from elder to youth for thousands of years. We have taken it upon ourselves to bring this beautiful art to a new market in order to promote the new generation of Shona artists, and help provide them with a stable income in their rapidly deteriorating economy.

A national fuel shortage has made motor transportation nearly non-existent. The young art dealer from Canada had few options. His newly purchased, 1-meter sculpture has to be moved from its birthplace in a small Zimbabwean village to the nation's capital Harare. The 5-kilometre hike, an otherwise short bus-ride, feels like forever.

On the unpaved roads of this southern African country Shaun O’Brien knows one slip could easily damage the Black Serpentine rock and render the artwork, valued at thousands of dollars in western markets, worthless.
