About
The exhibition ‘Equilibrium – A Moment in Solitude’ is a unique reflection of waterscapes through the lens of black & white photography, capturing the movement of water in still images to reveal vivid contract, unique tones and a feeling of space.
Equilibrium is Zia Manji first exhibition and reveals over 30 photographs from a body of work including the beaches of the Indian Ocean, the lakes of the Great Rift Valley and France, waterways in Venice and the Lochs of Scotland
The Photos capture the relationship between water and other elements mirroring the photographer’s relationship to the subject as a means of finding balance. The use of monochrome distills the essence of the photograph to reveal reflections, textures and passage of time that would otherwise be missed.
The primary aim of the exhibition is to raise funds for two charities- the Friends of Nairobi National Park and Kuona Trust.

The foundation has 30 children most of them with disabilities. Their living conditions need major assistance. The kids sleep on a few mattresses on the floor and therefore we would like to raise money to get them beddings. Our aim is to raise 255k for 30 beds-15 double deckers, 30 mattresses and 30 blankets for this first project Mtoto Lala Poa.
Celebrity Charity Catwalk will be on the 14th of June at Le Vans. It is a call to fellow ladies in the industry – Actresses,
musicians, presenters, models, dj’s and even those behind the scenes, to help raise this 255k..in respect of this home, which is run by ANN NJERI, a 27-year-old lady.
