Take a visual stroll through the work we completed while in Kenya for one month…

The three artists collaborated on live portrait sessions.  The documentarian recorded interviews and surroundings.  We absorbed, learned, integrated.

The team of artists completed four murals in three different parts of the country: Osoit Primary School in Maasai village Namelok, Evelyn College of Design in Nairobi, a children’s shelter and school in Kibera, and a historic blown out building in Kibera

The artists taught a two day workshop to the students at Evelyn College of Design combining dance, painted expression, and portraits.

Countless interviews were recorded learning from farmers, professionals, politicians, and artists across the country.

In loving memory of Mwaura Mureithi
