Das Magazin untersucht in acht Kapiteln die Potentiale interventionistischer Kunst aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven: in Form von Essays, poetischen Texten, Interviews, Performance und Photographien versammelt das Magazin- auf deutsch, englisch und spanisch- die Positionen von Künstler*innen, Wissenschaftler*innen und Aktivist*innen zu Kunst als dekoloniale Strategie.
Supported by the Heinrich Boell Foundation and coordinated by Nani Croze of Kitengela Glass, the Kenya Arts Diary has become a popular annual art exhibition in Nairobi, Kenya and identified with the Heinrich Boell Foundation. The diary has built a new physical but portable space whose multi-functionality allows local artists to display their craft, advertise their skills, join a regional network, and find belonging.
First published in 2011, the Kenya Arts Diary is a catalogue - complete with descriptors - of photography, installations, oils, acrylics, patch-work quilts, wood, cement and scrap metal sculptures, some from “stitched found objects”. The Diary also carries artists’ bios and a directory that provides artists’ contacts and announces the range of collectives and studios where contemporary artists pursue their passions.
