HOF Gallery first exhibition of 2026: HELD HIGH - HELD BACK

Join us 7th Feb. when Kibera Arts District hosts three gallery openings with HOF Gallery Kibera Exhibiting works by Rasto Cyprian & Fridah Ijai.

The Duo exhibition between Rasto and Fridah brings a repulsive effect on both personal and communal perspective on identity. Rasto’s work being built on the concept of the veil, creates censorship, concealment, and restriction. The veil (mesh integrated within the paintings) acts as the Barrier confining one from accessing something. Whereas Fridah's work brings the pride and acknowledgement of one’s ‘self’, the long necks are inspired by the women in Thailand and southern parts of Africa,

HELD HIGH - HELD BACK brings the Asserted presence and the hidden identity by either the individual as well as the community.

HOF Gallery Kibera -open daily from 10am to 7pm
