Ajasi Alama

Ajasi was born in Marondera in 1972, the third of ten children. He stopped school after 8th grade. “

I was excellent at school, but money was a problem.” He enjoyed doing art in school, but was taught to be a painter by his wife, Auxillia, who was trained at Weya. He painted pottery between 1998 and 2000 at Ros Burn Pottery in Ruwa before returning to Weya. Ajasi was married in 1992. He and his wife have three children. They live in Chakwenya village. Favorite topics for his art include village life, his family, and baboons and other animals.
