NAIROBI ART PROJECT(Projects)

A series of works titled KANGAERU are produced through clipping and re-composing different patterns of Kanga, very traditional cloth from the East African region. The patterns in different colors are set free from traditional arrangements and rules, and seek for a new type of order and story by hands of the artist on one occasion, or by hands of participants into workshops that are publicly held on the street on the other occasions, then they are transformed into a unique and beautiful form of patterns. The works were put on by street vendors who always dress themselves in a variety of everyday products in a very unique way on the streets. Those street vendors walked step by step on a congested main road in Nairobi like on a catwalk in fashion show.
