Grassroots Upgraded ¦ Reflections on Nairobi’s Eastlands
Exhibition
The exhibition is Slum-TV’s biggest Art project so far, filling the Nairobi Gallery with photographs, installations and video works. It presents a unique perspective of life in Nairobi’s Eastlands, challenging the stereotypes about life in the marginal areas of town and revealing a dynamic and bustling urban life.
More than anything else, this exhibition seeks to raise questions. Questions about how Nairobi is represented. Questions about an image that a city has, and how this can be shaped. Questions about who is creating this image, and what the relationship between images and power is. The camera used, “LOMO”, presents their own unique aesthetic: improvised, spontaneous and unconventional expression. The corresponding catalogue will be launched at the opening.
The exhibition is curated by Sam Hopkins.
It is a partnership of Africalia and Goethe-Institut in conjunction with the National Museums of Kenya.
