Harambee 63 was
an experimental installation about African revolutions and ordinary people that
was held at the Kuona Trust in Nairobi recently.
The project
calls into question ideas we hold about our individual roles and capacities in
times where bravery and action is required.
The installation
looks at the duality, terrorist vs. hero, of people whom we consider
revolutionaries touching on Africa’s history (1884-1963); from Gandhi and
Gaddafi to modern day “heroes” in Kenya-political or non-political.
The installation
is mildly interactive and incorporates gumboots and video in unusual setting.
