Something planned for over a decade, delayed a couple years per Covid has finally breached through to reality. HOF Gallery Kibera, a professional Art Gallery within the Kibera Slums in Nairobi, Kenya. The Gallery will serve as the anchor for the newly established Kibera Arts District. Where art studios and creatives making functional art will be in a loose collective district sharing and working together. This of course is the sister gallery to the HOF Gallery Cincinnati. Both galleries grew out of House of Friends Kenya an effort that has been working in Kenya since 2003. Might seem like a small thing but here are a few pics sharing the first day of breaking ground on a real gallery space in Kibera. We hope to have the building completed before April. We welcome help to push the building along with support of funds. Happy to answer any questions you might have. To Donate please visit our House of Friends donate page.
House of Friends created this Kenya Arts Diary Archives website you are on now. We have plans of reworking the book to be a strong tool for the Arts Community of East Africa. Covid for sure has put a dent in our timeline and plans.
