On August 22nd and 23rd, the powerful touring exhibition “Her Voice, Her Power” arrives at KNLS Library, Buruburu, transforming the space into a sanctuary of art, dialogue, performance, and healing.
Curated by Elizabeth Wanjiku, this dynamic group showcase continues its mission of amplifying women’s voices through visual storytelling, embodied performance, and courageous conversations.
This edition features an inspiring lineup of artists including:
Patricia Githae, Barbara Wanjiku, Ruguru Wanjiru, Freshia Njeri, Shannice Wanjiru, Miko Obanda, Bernadette Nyarandi, Eugene Miera, Mugoiri Gachiani, Valerie Rusina, Amelia Okoro, DADAS Connect, and Tabitha Wanjiku.
Each artist brings a distinct lens—exploring identity, memory, womanhood, resilience, culture, and healing. Through paintings, installations, performance art, and animation, their works speak to both personal and shared experiences.
From August 7th to 11th, the Nairobi art scene will vibrate with emotion, healing, and fierce creativity during “Her Voice, Her Power – Wambura”, a bold new group exhibition curated by Santana Sino. This powerful showcase brings together the voices, stories, and souls of ten groundbreaking women artists who are reshaping the narrative around gender, art, and healing in Kenya and beyond.
Featured artists include Fridah Ijai, Jebet Chemng’orem, Blaine 29, Pauline Muturi, Gitamo Mokeira, Artist Nyambura, Karuma Christine, Natasha Floortje, Wangui Waithaka, and Shivan Nafula—each bringing a unique perspective rooted in lived experience, cultural memory, and unapologetic expression.
The official opening takes place on Saturday, August 9th at 10 AM, and it’s far from your typical quiet gallery walk through. The day kicks off with a theatrical dance session that encourages audience participation, dissolving the wall between artist and observer. Attendees will not only witness the power of performance but become part of it—moving, feeling, and engaging with the themes of womanhood, trauma, joy, and resistance.
Throughout the exhibition, visitors will interact with immersive installations and participatory artworks that challenge them to confront societal silences and celebrate inner strength. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a space for dialogue, vulnerability, and collective healing.
Discover the diverse and visionary artists who have shaped the Her Voice, Her Power exhibitions across all editions, each contributing unique perspectives rooted in creativity, resilience, and lived experience.
