What does being a professional artist in Kenya take? What’s the current market situation? Who are the players? Why should artists take their profession seriously? Can one solely survive on artistry in Kenya?
Our panelists for this session include well known artists professionals who have made a mark in the creative world. They include Judy Kibinge, creative director, writer and film maker, Mathew Ondiege – a professional actor, dancer, director and choreographer, Muturi Njee is a painter, jewel maker and a mentor whose passion is in encouraging and motivating artists into taking their art profession seriously. Sylvia Gichia – Director at Kuona Trust Centre for visual arts in Kenya.
2010 was a successive year for Kenyan film. The impact of films such as Pumzi and Soul Boy is a good occasion to take a closer look at the Kenyan film scene. Many of the protagonists are not well known, not even in Kenya, and Goethe Institut takes time to pay homage to their work. Homage series started by introducing Jacob Barua to a keenly interested audience last year and continues with Judy Kibinge.
Dates: February 4-5, 2011
Venue: Goethe-Institut Auditorium
Time: 4.00 pm Friday and 3.00 pm on Saturday
Entry: Free
