This is Slum’s TV’s biggest art project this far. The exhibition will feel Nairobi Gallery with installations, photographs and video works. All this displays will represent a unique perspective of life in the Nairobi’s Eastland, challenging the stereotypes about life in the marginal areas of town and revealing a dynamic and bustling urban life.
Just like any other exhibitions, this one has a theme too and that is to raise questions on how Nairobi is actually represented. More so focusing on the image the city of Nairobi has and how it can be corrected or for that matter be shaped. Questions on who exactly is creating this big image, and what is this relationship between the image and power. However, the Camera used, “LOMO”, brings their own uniqueness and aesthetic: improvised, spontaneous and unconventional expressions. At the opening there will be a corresponding catalogue which will be launched.
This exhibition is created by Sam Hopkins
