Conversations
Ngalula Mafwata, Congolese art enthusiast and founder of Mayi Arts, has had an unexpected journey into the art world. Her story began in fashion; during high school, she attended fashion weeks and shows, blogging about her experiences from a media perspective.
While her art school peers focused on realistic skin tones, Ghanaian artist Ama Sackey found her signature in blue.
Before the residency and solo exhibition with Kamene Cultural Centre, Kenyan artist Njenga Ngugi went through a difficult artist block for one year.
Right after art school at Kenyatta University, Kenyan artist Fridah Ijai considered joining some of the existing art centres and artist collectives in Nairobi for studio space, mentorship opportunities, and connections. After a few challenges, she decided to work from home, a decision that was supported by her art teacher.
