The auditorium at Goethe-Institut Nairobi has been transformed into a stunning immersive space, thanks to the imaginative work of five artists who reimagined their crafts, sculpting, photography, wood carving, and animation, into striking life-sized installations.

As you step into the exhibition, you're greeted by a detailed curatorial statement printed on the wall, offering a preview of what lies ahead. Just nearby is a bed installation glimmering with carefully arranged shards of glass and rocks. This hauntingly beautiful piece, titled The Basin, is by artist Wallace Juma.
