The Reclamation of African Abstract Art
Ends (EAT)
Shah Houses600 Ngara Rd, Nairobi, Kenya
Ukombozi social invites you to reimagine the story of African abstraction. While the history of contemporary abstract art is often told through the works of European modernists, the profound influence of African art on its evolution is overlooked. Join us for an immersive celebration of African artistic expression, where we revisit narratives surrounding African abstract art. Guided by Sudanese artist, Waleed Mohamed, participants will be invited to interpret a live subject drawing on Waleeds guidance on principles of abstract art while exploring visual elements inspired by indigenous African works of art. Guests can look forward toan evening of live-guided painting and creative exploration, accompanied by a curated menu celebrating the rich flavours of Sudan and signature drinks featuring ingredients native toEast Africa. The experience will be soundtrackedby Taz Waves, bringing the distinctive genre of Sudanese electronic music, while Ukombozi transforms the space through immersive set-design. Uko?
