We will be hosting, this Saturday, a first time public screening of Syowia Kyambi’s (@syowia_studio) recently completed work, Kaspale’s Playground (2020). Kaspale’s Playground grapples with public memory, parts of which are not (yet) so public. Revisiting Kenya’s recent history, Syowia Kyambi brings to the fore the many layers of violence that underpinned former President Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi’s 24-year rule in Kenya.

The evening will include a brief talk with the artist about the film, situating it within her larger body of work, a screening of the film, and a Q&A with the artist afterward.

Space is limited, so please use the link in our bio to reserve a slot for the evening, bring warm clothes and your refreshments of choice.
