by with No Comment art exhibitsevents


Dates: March 11-24, 2019
Venue: Alliance Française Nairobi

About
Maliza Kiasuwa is a visual artist of European/African ancestry. In her wall hangings installation, Maliza pays tribute to Mother Nature and womanhood; to the shared cycle of life and death, using natural objects like the loofah, wool and porcupine quills. The woman is the source and the centre of these powers.

Once again, Maliza philosophically transforms natural objects into contemporary artworks.

L’Équipée is a Nairobi-based studio founded by Lilo Chaumont together with her daughter Gus. In close collaboration with 19 Kenyan artisans, they produce furniture for both the African and European markets.

L’Équipée tries to find a balance between the calibrated, rigorous European design, and the bold ingenuity of the local craftsmen. Each piece is the result of dialogue between the artisans and the designers, each design is one of a kind.
