Common Ground Exhibition Opening

Common Ground brings together artworks by four artists active in Kenya today which feature depictions of social groups, specifically students, uniformed officers, protesters, and family. In these works each of the artists considers the behaviour of these groups as a unit and their relationships with the physical and social spaces they inhabit.

Comprised of drawing, painting and sculpture, the exhibition highlights artworks that were created within the last decade, including two large scale drawings by Peterson Kamwathi from 2012 and 2013, a major painting by Elias Mung'ora from 2017, a recently completed 5-part sculpture by Morris Foit which forms part of the NCAI collection, and selected works from an ongoing series by Paul Njihia.
