Kakamega forest marathon

What will you be doing on 28th November this year? Get treated to an experience of it’s kind at The Kakamega Forest Marathon as you sample the Luhya culture in style. The marathon will take place right in the heart of the forest, curtain raised by the fighting bulls of Western Kenya early that morning. This will be the place for you to taste Luhya foods that you rarely find in the city, as we fuel your body for the grand duel, THE FAMOUS MULEMBE NGHT, live in the heart of Kakamega Forest, sponsored by Royal Media Services. Register today via M-pesa paybill number with your name as the account number and experience the Luhya culture in a totally extra ordinary style.

Ethereal Assemblage
Paintings by Rakeeb Hassan

Dates: November 10-22, 2015
Venue: Alliance Française

About
Bangladeshi artist Rakeeb Hassan’s first ever one-man show took place in Kenya in 1994. His upbringing in Bengali language, literature and art, his formative training in fine arts in Kenya, his immigrant experiences in the UK and Canada, continue to influence Rakeeb’s art. His brush is constantly balanced in space, abstractly capturing fleeting glimpses of images which come in ethereal forms. His paintings are the colour of everything – what we think or what we can’t think, what we see or what we can’t see, assembling it all to portray a universe of freedom, free thought and tolerance.

This exhibition is homage to the slain bloggers of Bangladesh and to the lost lives in Kenya’s terror attacks.

Using social science concepts of state, economy and society, Ghai explains the causes of the failure of constitutionalism…
