HOF Gallery Kibera Coming to Life.
Something planned for over a decade, delayed a couple years per Covid has finally breached through to reality.
HOF Gallery Kibera, a professional Art Gallery within the Kibera Slums in Nairobi, Kenya. The Gallery will serve as the anchor for the newly established Kibera Arts District. Where art studios and creatives making functional art will be in a loose collective district sharing and working together.
This of course is the sister gallery to the HOF Gallery Cincinnati. Both galleries grew out of @House of Friends Kenya an effort that has been working in Kenya since 2003.
Might seem like a small thing but here are a few pics sharing the first day of breaking ground through the current construction on a real gallery space in Kibera. We hope to have the building completed before April. Hosting its first show mid year maybe in July. But after waiting so long through Covid we are in no rush.
We welcome help to push the building along with support of funds. Happy to answer any questions you might have. Donations welcome.
