After graduating from Makerere University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Mpagi returned to Makerere in 1977 as a Masters student and teaching assistant. Due to difficulties associated with the political conditions of the time, Mpagi was unable to complete his studies. In 1982 he was forced into exile in Kenya and went on to have a successful career as a sculptor.
