The Standard e-Paper
Kenya’s Boldest Voice
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
The Venice Biennale saga took a new twist when Culture Cabinet Secretary Hassan Wario distanced his ministry from the controversial ‘Kenyan’ pavilion at the event, which is to be held in less than two weeks, and where Kenya is being ‘represented’ by five Chinese and an Italian.
Kenyan artists have demanded that the pavilion should not be associated, in any way, with the country. They also demanded that the Kenyan flag be removed from the pavilion. This is not the first time foreigners are representing the country at the event. The same thing happened in the 2013 event.
