Exhibition reveals Francis Imbuga’s creativity

Prof. Francis Imbuga

If we want to meet the dead looking alive we turn to art, said writer Hilary Mantel. An exhibition on the life and times of the late satirical playwright Francis Imbuga hopes to do just that.

The exhibition, which opens tomorrow at the Kenya National Archives will showcase Imbuga’s life in pictures, writings and mementos spanning from his grandparents who turned him into storyteller to fun times quaffing his favorite Tusker beer with friends at the Kenya National Theatre.
