Chez Mahmadi Kitisuru
Fluid Movements - Art Exhibition by E. Brah

“I would say my style is Afrocentric/Afrofuturistic/Afropop. My biggest growth is getting to a point where I am not afraid to experiment. There’s been a lot of transformation in my artworks, and where I am currently is a point of going back to the beginning and some of the things I once tried and feel like they didn’t work out. Experimental projects are where I am right now, just seeing how far I can take this.”

Nani's Wonderland @ Kitengela Glass
Colour Untamed by Katie Simpson

Katie Simpson is a Kenyan painter whose work is an act of witness to the animals, landscapes, and fragile ecologies that shaped her from childhood. Born in Kenya and formed by an artistic environment surrounded by nature, the colours and textures of Africa have never left her. They are the ground from which everything else grows. Colour Untamed brings that lifelong conversation into full focus. Her paintings are ethereal explorations of the earth’s fragility and wildlife’s vulnerability, attempts to catch fleeting moments before they vanish, subjects held briefly in abstracted, luminous space. There is urgency in that impulse. Kenya’s wild places are changing, and Simpson paints in response – not with polemic, but with something more tender and more lasting.

22nd to 24th May 2026
Nairobi National Museum
The 20th Affordable Art Show

The Affordable Art Show is the largest art show in East Africa, showcasing the work of new and established artists in the region. This is the 20th edition of the show! Over 400 artists will participate with about 800 works on display. The artists range from first time exhibitors to established artists who have exhibited internationally. This is a juried show, with prices set during a discussion between the artist and the jury which includes the Curator of Art at the National Museums of Kenya. A percentage of the sale price of each artwork goes to the Kenya Museum Society to fund projects at museums in Kenya.
Full Programme: https://www.kenyamuseumsociety.org/the-20th-affordable-art-show/. Entrance times on the opening night are staggered to avoid overcrowding. Once in, please stay as long as you wish until closing
