Barely six months after graduating from Kenyatta University James
Njoroge, holds his first solo exhibition. The show is a tribute to his mother and to all Kenyan women who toil selflessly for their families.
WHEN: 6th November - 30th November 2013
WHERE: Nairobi National Museum
Time: 9.00am - 5.00pm daily
Njoroge’s collection for this exhibition is a linear autobiography of his life brought up by a single mother. His works track the life of 'mama soko’, her triumphs and travails.
Njoroge’s women are burdened – burdened by pitiable circumstances, burdened by errant husbands, burdened by single parenthood and fleeting youth; they are also somewhat faceless, marginalised by State and Men. In truth they are the back bone of Africa and Njoroge’s works force us to look at them, to value them, to acknowledge them.
