    Alexander Chitungo is a stone sculptor from Marodera, Zimbabwe and is visiting campus from Nov. 5 -19. He completed his Ordinary Level at Prince Edward School in 1986, in Zimbabwe's capital of Harare. In 1990, he began apprenticing under his friends Tonderai Marezva and Lincoln Muteta, renowned Shona Sculptors. After two years Alexander set out on his own to develop his unique style, which he calls *shadows in the stone* (Mumvuri mudombo). Alexander's work reflects the theme *Voices of Reality.* He has been sculpting stone in Zimbabwe for more than 20 years. His work is exhibited around the world, from South Africa to The United States. Alex travels every year to share his passion in sculpting workshops. Join him Friday, Nov. 17, for an open studio workshop and talk.
