Existence II by Kevin Oduor
Existence II is a continuation of a concept based exhibition that opened at Kuona Trust in 2012 questioning the existence of objects. In existence II, Kevin Oduor continues to question existence and our perspective of the human form.
This process and concept is something never explored by a Nairobi-based sculptor and Oduor stands out as pioneer in the field of three dimensional expression.

Time: 6 pm

Date: January 30, 2014
Venue: Goethe-Institut, Auditorium
Time: 6.30 pm

Released in 2012, One More gives you an understanding of the historic UK clubbing era from 1988 to 2012, which changed the lives of millions. This intriguing account interrogates the pioneers who made it all possible. The film asks why and how it happened, discusses what brought about the scene’s terminal decline and then poses the unenviable question “If tonight was your last ever gig, what would be your One More track?”
