At A Taste Of Africa, every purchase you make contributes to a larger mission—supporting talented artisans across the African continent. While we primarily focus on the Shona artists of Zimbabwe, whose remarkable stone sculptures are world-renowned, we also work with skilled artists from other African countries, bringing a diverse array of handcrafted art to our customers.
For over 15 years, we have partnered with a small, family-run supplier in Harare, Zimbabwe, who helps us connect directly with Shona sculptors. Your purchases provide these artisans with stable employment and support their families in a time of high unemployment and inflation in Zimbabwe. We are committed to Fair Trade practices, ensuring that all artists, whether they work independently or within cooperatives, receive fair compensation for their work.
In addition to Zimbabwe, we also source unique handmade art from other regions, supporting artists who rely on their craft to sustain their communities. Every item you buy helps preserve African cultural heritage and provides vital income to these artisans, making a difference in their lives.
We believe that one small purchase can make a big difference. By choosing A Taste Of Africa, you are not only acquiring beautiful, authentic African art, but you are also playing a part in sustaining the rich cultural heritage of Africa and supporting the livelihoods of artists who rely on their craft to survive.
