Shabu Mwangi at One Off Sept 2015
PRIVATE VIEW
Saturday, 26 September 2015
Noon to 5 pm

Exhibition Dates: September 27 – October 20, 2015
Venue: One Off Contemporary Gallery

About
In the light of the seemingly endless coverage of the ongoing migrant tragedy in Europe, Mwangi’s latest show titled ‘Hope at the Tarmac’ seems particularly appropriate, and reminds us of the plight of our own migrants in Eastern Africa.

Often tipped as an artist to watch, in this exhibition Mwangi reinforces the notion that he is an artist to be taken seriously whilst still being in the ‘affordable price’ range.

Hadithi Hadithi by Harriet Riddell

Venue: Kuona Trust
Time: 6:00pm

About
Hadithi Hadithi by Harriet Riddell is an interactive Art Exhibit that captures varied present day experiences in Kenya directly onto fabric. With a talent for drawing on her sewing machine, Harriet travels Kenya stitching live narratives onto canvas and local fabrics. The result is a series of whimsical art works that illustrate life in the Nairobi slums and rural Kenya.

The Hadithi Hadithi exhibition showing at the Kuona Trust art gallery will include collaborative pieces with various local artists from Masaai Mbili and Wajukuu who Harriet taught her ‘free-style’ stitch technique.

This exhibition runs until 30th September 2015.
