Kanaiza Onalo has proven herself to be a dedicated and accomplished curator facilitating in cultural exchange and collaboration between artists. We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Onalo to help deliver ‘Visions and Possibilities : The Inaugural Exhibition of Contemporary Kenyan Art in London’ to mark Jamhuri Day (Kenya’s 60th year of independence).
Her commitment to fostering meaningful connections between the artistic communities in the United Kingdom and Kenya and inform and shape strategies for supporting local artists on a broader international scale aligns perfectly with the mission of the Kenyan Cultural Centre.
