#HARAMBEE 63




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.
