Sculptor laments artistes’ exclusion

BY CHIEDZA MAZHANGARA
STONE sculptor Jay Mariga has lamented the sidelining  of artists in government-run national building projects.

Mariga, who does Shona art, specialising in abstract sculptures, told NewsDay Life & Style that including artists in national building projects will not only empower them, but also give them a platform to showcase their abilities.

“I think our government through the Sport, Arts and Recreation ministry should try and accommodate us in some projects, like we have the new Parliament building, it can give raw materials to artists and give us a theme to go with in a competition.
