UTU:  3 Perspectives on the Human Form

Githinji Mbire- LauraMan has been painting himself for as long as recorded history remembers.  There is something mysterious about the human body, a form so familiar, yet one that is endlessly fascinating to us.  This exhibition explores the human form through the eyes of three very unique and expressive artists:  Keba Konte, Githinji Mbire and Eesuu.

Utu is a word in Swahili, which means the essence or spirit of what makes one a human being.  It is our humanity that makes us unique as living beings on this planet.
 
This exhibition hopes to do more than illustrate the endless variations of
the human form.  It seeks to bring out the spirit, humanity and utu in us.
