| Kenya Burning Exhibitions
During and after the elections,
amateur and professional photographers alike captured powerful images
of the campaigning and voting processes as well as the ensuing violence
and destruction. A collection of over 100 of these powerful images
were put on display in an exhibition titled 'Kenya Burning' at The
GoDown Arts Centre from 19th April 2008 for six weeks. The exhibition
was also displayed in the RaMoMa Gallery, in Parklands, Nairobi
for a month.
On the 1st anniversary of this
exhibition, the GoDown Arts Centre is launching free public exhibitions
under the title 'Kenya Burning - Never Forget Never Again' in Nairobi,
Eldoret, Mombasa and Kisumu during March and April 2009.
This opportunity, again, to remember
and reflect on the tragic post - election events of yester-year
should hopefully reinforce sentiments already strongly expressed
by ordinary citizens across the country that this should never happen
again. |
