Exhibition showcases plight of displaced persons and migrants

Some of the art pieces on display at the exhibition titled ‘Freedom| Flight| Refuge’ at Circle Art Gallery in Nairobi.

The exhibition at Circle Art Gallery showcases internal displacement, migration and need for a safe place to call home, themes that are now a global concern.

‘Freedom| Flight| Refuge’ is a collection of 35 contemporary works from six artists who employ different mediums. Ray Piwi showcases the plight of thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) after the 2007/2008 post-election violence in Kenya following the disputed presidential election. Eight years later some families still live in IDP camps.
