Date: July 26-September 30, 2011
Venue: National Museum of Kenya
Entry: Museums Rates Apply
The aim of the exhibition is to explore the cultural, political, social and environmental differences and commonalities that construct the concept of Sanctuary from the perspective of Home, Away and the Common Ground between Kenya and the UK.
The motivation for the exhibition is to create a platform for dialogue from both representative parties in an effort to highlight the work of the Metropolitan Sanctuary For Sick Children in Nyeri Kenya, in the hope that it will bring awareness to the plight of the many terminally ill and seriously disabled children the charity work with.
