One of the most notable figures in the recent history of Art in Kenya is Mbuthia Maina. Maina joined Kuona Trust’s Art studios at the National museum in 1997 and has recently been an instrumental member of the artist led collective Masaai Mbili.

He was one of the artists that started working in the 90’s in a conceptual way using different art media including video art. His background of anthropology and sociology informs his conceptual methods. His works are often illustrations of his journeys and experiences-inclusive of political histories.

Mbuthia Maina has been one of the few Kenyans exhibited at a major art event in the global art scene: Liverpool Biennale 2002.
This exhibition provides a deep insight and pays tribute to Mbuthia Maina’s work

This exhibition is curated by 3collect
