The Gathering
NCAI OFFSITE
NCAI OFF SITE is a platform designed to facilitate collaboration with our partners to host's exhibitions, screenings, talks and residencies beyond our gallery walls.
NCAI OFFSITE Projects and Partnerships
NCAI is part of the Triangle Network of international arts organisation that supports artistic exchanges, residencies and knowledge sharing worldwide. Through our network of partners NCAI OFFSITE will offer residencies to both local and international artists in Kenya.
NCAI will host future editions of the Gathering. The Gathering is an artist's forum that offers African artists and art practitioners (local and diaspora) a chance to interact with each other outside of an institutional or commercial context.
DRIVE MY CAR
Screening
NCAI OFFSITE is excited to begin our 2022 programming with a premier of the Academy award-winning film, Drive My Car in partnership with MUBI & Unseen Nairobi. Directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi and primarily based on Haruki Murakami’s short story similarly titled, Drive my Car is a haunting road movie traveling a path of love, loss, acceptance and peace.
THE GATHERING
The Gathering seeks to assemble artists from Africa and its diaspora with the purpose of enabling critical cross-border conversations. The inaugural Gathering saw 52 artists and art practitoners from 12 countries come together in a three day retreat in Naivasha, Kenya. In future, we aim to grow the number of artists invited and initiate a platform that can feasibly rotate in location.
