For its most extensive exhibition yet, Nairobi-based art futurist collective Kairos Futura explores issues residents of Kenya's capital face and possibilities of a better life. ‘Hakuna Utopia? In Search of Micro-Utopias’ features painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and site-specific installations across satellite locations that speak to themes of utopia, apocalypse, and resilience. The show opened in July at Kairos Atelier, the collective’s warehouse studio and gallery in Nairobi's industrial area.
Kairos Futura empowers artists, designers, and scientists to use the power of imagination to engage their communities. The group comprises Ajax Axe, Stoneface Bombaa, Coltrane McDowell, Neemo Mungai, Lincoln Mwangi, Shabu Mwangi, and Abdul Rop.
