Amos Supuni
Born in 1970 in Malawi

Amos Supuni finished his secondary school in 1989 and joined a community self-help project for unemployed youths. Tapfuma Gutsa, whose studio was close by, came to assist with basic lessons and encouraged Supuni to persevere. In 1996 he was selected for the Chapungu Residence Program and spent two very creative years at the park working on larger and harder stones and seeing a rapid development of his work.

Supuni is much concerned about social issues and sees his work as "a voice for the voiceless", often tackling subjects such as poverty, street kids and desperation. (from (visit link) )
