ART EVENTS & EXHIBITIONS - click on poster to enlarge

6th December to 16th Jan.
Banana Hill Gallery
Trails Of Africa dawn by Rahab Shine

We are delighted to present a new solo exhibition by Rahab Shine. Her journey as an artist began in 1990 after meeting Shine Tani. The two later founded Banana Hill Art Gallery, a place that has welcomed artists and art lovers for many years. Rahab works with a clear sense of observation. She paints landscapes as they appear today, holding on to scenes that are slowly shifting with constant development. Her pieces carry a quiet sense of care for places that deserve to be remembered. You are invited to visit the gallery and spend time with her work. The show will run throughout December and into the new year.

Wahenga wa Sanaa: Tracing two centuries of artistic legacy 1800 – 1980. Wahenga wa Sanaa brings the NMK collection into public view, tracing powerful themes of cultural identity, spirituality, history and politics, nature and environment, and the growth of formal art training and supporting institutions. The exhibition honours the Wahenga - the wise ancestors and cultural forebearers whose creativity laid the foundation for generations of artists. As we create art today, we walk in their footsteps and continue to build on their enduring legacy.
