About the Show
Bar Conversations is about the discussions over daily life, disappointments and dreams, carried out once liquid lubricant is introduced. These conversations are often littered with neighbourhood gossip, politics and for some, they are a form of therapy. Some find peers, while others find escape from the daily grind. In bars, problems are created and for others, solutions are found. In his work, created from cut and burned strips of beer cans, Alex Njoroge explores what people speak about when their guard is down. Using his own experiences, Njoroge tackles various ideas ranging from love to responsibility.It is said that one can tell alot about a person by the shoes that they wear. Mosoti Kepha, breathes life to pinewood in his ultra-realistic wood carvings. In this show, Mosoti’s pieces are a metaphor for the lives lived by the patrons of a bar.
